I agree, a topic on optimizing mysql.ini would be great. After finishing the memory upgrade, I found that the key_buffer_size setting in the mysql.ini file was limiting memory usage to 40MB or something. I increased it to 500MB, and now the board seems to run really fast -- even though Task Manager only reports the mysql process using 80MB of RAM. (Note that phpmyadmin reports that the indexes on the posts table are using 370MB). I thought I had already configured the my.ini preset file, but I must have missed that setting.
