I use ext3 and have a qps of anywhere from 2800-8000 and use the defaults with no problems. Have you tried:
iostat -k 1 to look at your disk access? What kind of disks are they anyhow? IDE or SCSI? RAIDed? In what fashion? Lastly, you said that this is a script that is running, right? The table that gets updated, is it fixed or dynamic? Using blobs? Might also look at: vmstat 1 and look at CPU usage... sql,query,queries -steve- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
