mysql> show create table messa;

1 row in set (0.09 sec)

This table is counting 5,000,000 rows and it's growing very fast.
At the moment I am inserting around 55 rows per seconds and I'd like at least to double the speed. It's an Innodb table. I was thinking to split the data from this table into several tables and insert into the right table according the ID of the message.

let say that I have 4 tables messages.
table messa_1 deals with the IDs from 1 to 1,000,000
table messa_2 deals with the IDs from 1,000,001 to 2,000,000
...

I was wondering if reducing the number of rows into the table will accelerate the insertion? And how much (if it's to insert 70 rows per second is useless)?
It's quite complex to implement so I wanted to have your point of view.
Also I am sure there is other solutions.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Maxime
