Hello Rick,


Yes, the engine is 'MEMORY' and I get the size from information_schema, with the following query:

select round((INDEX_LENGTH + DATA_LENGTH)/1024/1024,2) from tables where table_schema like 'database' and table_name like 'table'


About the cost of memory allocation.. I meant that perhaps MySQL anticipates the need in memory for a table by allocating more than necessary instead of allocating memory everytime there is an 'insert' because the memory allocation costs CPU (in C for example). I just wonder if it works this way.. and if it's the case, is this behavior/feature tunable?

The CPU are fine.. we start using MEMORY to increase speed of some query.

And yes, we have a lot of indexes: 'show index from my_table' shows 17 indexes.


Thanks
