it is highly unlikely that you will have to worry. given the usual fiddling with the config file you need to do to get mysql be a bit less sluggis under load, you can do very very very high query rates and stuff. there is a load pattern at extremely high load where our thread model doesn't work all that well for mysql; bets are you will not hit it. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
