				| 
 |  
				| Anyone around care to help me tweak my my.cnf file for MySQL? I think I've optimized my C code as much as I can, but I still think that this'd give me a bit of a boost. 
 The database has a single connection from the client, takes a lot of data (about 2000 * 13 entries per minute) and no queries except for adding entries.
 
 If anyone cares to help, I can post more details.

				| Thanks for the help guys...   
 Switching isn't an option at this point.

				| Sorry.  I'm not into micro-optimization.  You could use a setup that does absolutely no checking of anything, but that's sacrificing safety for speed.  (Which you've already done in using MySQL at all...) |

				| yea i dont know if you can actually optimise the app that way.. wierd.. the only thing i can see a a possilble means of optimisation is load balancing.. and that too, its not the job of the programmer but the administrator. |
