What engine are you using for MySQL? InnoDB is better for Bayes. Did you look into MySQL optimization?

Yes, if you have not tuned MySQL you should. If you have the available RAM you can increase performance significantly. In some ad hoc experiments I did I increased throughput by a factor of 8 simply by increasing innodb_buffer_pool_size. Look for sample files such as my-medium.cnf and my-large.cnf on your system for examples. If your tables are InnoDB and you are using the default InnoDB settings you are likely hurting performance (but saving ram).
