Hope it is useful. I agree, you may want to look at adding another card and disks, for speed and to segregate the various operations (temp, logging, data). Splitting up your MYD and MYI files may help, though if you have enough RAM to keep indexes in memory, maybe you don't need to do that.

Good morning RV - On your 3rd question, about how to make things faster: More RAM should help by allowing the server to keep more/all of the indexes in memory, enabling much faster access. Be sure to adjust the cache settings in your my.cnf file after adding RAM. (Keep in mind - some my.cnf

1) Is there a way to see MySQL using both processors? Is SMP helpful in this case? (This server is dedicated to MySQL, only one instance). PS (*nix) should tell you how your processors are used. PS does show me about the CPU usage, but it doesnt tell me which processor, or if they're being use

First of all, I forgive the rather lengthy post. Thanks for the repl(y|ies) Benjamin. Decreasing the key_buffer should be my first step. Back to the questions: 3) I'm somewhat at a loss for this one and perhaps the answer is more obvious than not. I have 257 total tables from my main DB and
