I have about 5M names stored on my DB. Currently the searches are very quick unless, they are on a very common last name ie. SMITH. The Index is always used, but I still hit 10-20 seconds on a SMITH or Jones search, and I average about 6 searches a second and max out at about 30/s. Any suggestions on how I could arrange things to make this search quicker? I have 4gb of mem on a raid 5 w/ 3 drives. I'm hoping that I can increase this speed w/o a HW upgrade.
