Re: subquery vs. join?

Hi,
I have experienced the same kind of problem. Smaller tables works fine and the performance is linear versus table length but at a certain size of the table the performence becomes drastically worse. For me it seems like I have reached some kind of limit e.g. the size of some buffer or not enough RAM etc, and MySQL have to start swap data onto the hard disk, which substantially prolongs the execution time.

My computer is basically just used as a MySQL-server and I wonder if there are any variables that can be adjusted to enhance performance for an issue like this?

Increasing the key_buffer_size, will that help and what are the drawbacks if it is set to high?
