Yes, 1 instead of 11 transactions will speed up everything a LOT and we'll wonder if our load graphs are still working ... [.. apps developed for MySQL ..] Yes absolutely right. > Our plans are to put all of our money into a fault-tolerant heavy > database server What about putting parts of the money into dbmail development :-) Transactions and separating body and header (for imap) will be major improvements and probably cheaper than an appropriate db server.
