Link to some MySQL geekiness that i mentioned in the above post

they talk about what i described and even have some stats and 'wow, that really works!!' kinda comments too wink

i've been doing this on all my servers to quickly 'warm' up the Mysql tables on startup... makes life easier with a lotta RAM RAM RAM tho!

if you are low on ram, then disregard what i said in this and the last post laugh

you'll have to better use indexes and really have to TUNE my.cnf more smile
