Similar situation here (>100 Million rows).
things I found that help:
- be selective on what rows to index. Try to limit yourself to one
row.
- increase the key buffer size. (watch memory / swap usage as you
do this).
- maybe you need more RAM (but see my other post about a question
I had about large RAM machines and mysql crashing ;-) )
And more difficult, try to look at your application design and try
to come up with 'cache tables' that are generated by a cron job
periodically and are used for most queries.
