Thanks, Rick.
As always, you are extremely, helpful. much appreciated.

The random access of the large file has been a point of conjecture. Having an outside viewpoint may break the stalemate...


The commit option- never sure about this one. Our setting is:
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0
Not sure if that is reasonable.
We have between 100 and 400 queries per second on the database.
I will check out the link you provided today.

RAID is h/w.
your last comment about the 'summary' tables is one i will pursue with the developer.


thanks, again.
A
