Re: Tuning headaches and questions

[Chad Gladue]

oh, sorry!, there actually might be a good number of MyISAM tables out there a lot of the sites are joomla sites which i believe are defaulted to myISAM... what do you see being a more realistic number for key_buffer_size ? the slow query log has some queries that i am working on fixing but not a ton of queries.
