An anonymous reader asks: "An acquaintance of mine runs a fair sized web
community. Having nearly 280,000 users in a single MySQL database with
about 12 mirrors accessing it, performance has become an big issue. I
was wondering what practical methods could be used to lessen the load
and decrease user query times. Funds are limited, so he'd rather not pay
for a commercial database system at this time."
