Re: MySQL / Sessions / RAM Disks

We've done it here, but didn't see much of an improvement - I couldn't actually notice *any* difference, although at extremely high loads there might be a slight benefit. We get pretty uptight about timing - all our pages display the execution time in ms, so if there was a speed benefit to sessions in a ram disk, we'd have noticed it. It may depend more on your hardware - this is a 512 meg dual PII with some kind of huge scsi/raid something or other (fuzzy on details, but it's pretty darn fast already) - there may not be much more than can be done on that hardware... ymmv php@server.mediawaveonline.com wrote: > Has any one tried and seen any speed benefits from putting a commonly > accessed database, or their tempory session files on a ram disk? > > We have a table that has alot of select/insert/update commands done on > it.
