Ok I found what was the main source of slowlyness in my application : awful coding I made, which make several thousands of useless big queries !!! So I am optimizing my system.
Nevertheless, I am new to DB cogin, so could you tell me more on Indexes ? What do they do ? Do they really incease speed on great tables ? How do I set or create them ? Thanks for your answers ...
