Access? You aren't serious, are you? If you really experience Microsoft Access being faster than MySQL, you are doing something *seriously* wrong. Probably keys missing or not used for whatever reason. Please post the result of EXPLAIN for the query in question and the result of SHOW INDEX. Also SHOW CREATE TABLE, if posting that information is OK with you. And whatever information you consider to be of interest.
