Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you for the clarification and response. Any ideas on maximizing *server* performance besides the usual db-specific optimizations like indexing? If not too much trouble, could you give me a brief explanation why I would not see a performance boost if running separate servers on the same box? My thoughts, if have one MySQL server running on one box with 10 databases, and 1 or 2 of those databases are getting the majority of the requests and tying up the processes, seems like the other 8 would suffer.

Hi! Maybe Mr. Raymer means that he would get more performance when running multiple _MySQL_ servers (i.e. instances) on a same _physical_ server (i.e. box). Getting more performance this way is unfortunately a false assumption, though. More stability, perhaps, but not performance.
