Or the database has just grown pass the size where disk caching is efficient. Usually these are nonlinear processes, i.e. it works good until a certain moment and then cache hit ratio decreases dramatically because all of a sudden content starts heavily competing about space in the cache. > Now im thinking about hard disk issues...maybe some "smart" messages? > > Have some other hardware to give it a try? Can we please see the full DDL of table and indexes? The only additional idea I can throw up at the moment is looking at a combined index on (primarykeyofchange, category) - maybe replacing changehistory_idx4 - but that of course depends on the other SQL used against that table.
