Yeah, that's the thing, the tables don't change. I add maybe 50,000 records in total every
three months, but that's about it. Also, no one USES the databse. only like one a day for
a few queries. I am thinking that redhat linux, and not mysql, is the culprit since the
top reveals that the buffer size is increasing in memory. It's just weird that it gets
slower over time, I suspect it's due to RAM.
I am using myISAM tables. Is that innodb or bdb?
