Could you send the output of an EXPLAIN for your query?

Oh yes, as I've attempted to configure the my.cnf file for best performance.  The query is correct.  The 
fulltext index is correct as I built the fulltext index on the single column (took 9 minutes) and even did 
"repair" and "optimize" on the table... so I don't think its the index.  I'm thinking 
its the server config...

I'm running into a problem with some queries running on a dedicated mysql server (2.0
GHz, 2GB RAM).  Fulltext searching really exemplifies this as most MATCH, AGAINST 
queries
are taking 5-20 seconds.  Performance was excellent for some reason one day (0.2 - 0.75
seconds) but it was only fast for a day or so.
Here's the rundown:

TABLE: fulltext_table (some_id, the_text) Rows: 3,237,981 Type: MyISAM
Size: 920.8 MB QUERY: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fulltext_table WHERE MATCH (the_text) AGAINST ('blue');
or QUERY: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS some_id FROM fulltext_table WHERE MATCH (the_text)
AGAINST ('blue') LIMIT 0, 20;


Both are problematic.  I even tried placing a limit of 20000 on the first query but
it didn't improve anything.  The table has a fulltext index on the column and is
optimized.  No other users are connected to the server.

Is there a RED FLAG in here somewhere?

MySQL configuration settings (using my-huge.cnf template):
key_buffer = 500M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 512
sort_buffer_size = 10M
read_buffer_size = 2M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
#thread_cache = 8
thread_concurrency = 8
#----- Modifications ----------- #
ft_min_word_len = 3
set-variable = table_cache=1024
set-variable = max_heap_table_size=64M
set-variable = tmp_table_size=128M
set-variable = query_cache_limit=2M
query_cache_type=1


Performance Test: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fulltext_table WHERE MATCH (the_text) AGAINST ('white'); +----------+ | COUNT(*) | +----------+ | 95074 | +----------+ 1 row in set (27.83 sec)
