Did you try to disable the full new post tracking feature? (Config Settings -> Special functions / Do you want to do full new post tracking (standard behavior)? -> No)

For the my.cnf file I suggest something like:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><hr /><font size="" face="">[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-locking
set-variable = max_connections=400
set-variable = key_buffer=20M
set-variable = join_buffer=7M
set-variable = record_buffer=7M
set-variable = sort_buffer=10M
set-variable = table_cache=1024
set-variable = thread_cache_size=256

[myisamchk]
set-variable = key_buffer=512M
set-variable = sort_buffer=512M
set-variable = read_buffer=16M
set-variable = write_buffer=16M </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">
