VERRRY Interesting.  Thank you, Ron.

It turns out that there are NO InnoDB tables.  Not exactly the way that
I would build a MySQL database these days.

It also said that it was 96% reads ( in the last 10 hours or so since I
was restarting it, trying to reduce the load ).  I will re-run this
script periodically, as well as turning on the slow query logging that
several have recommended.

It had several very practical suggestions, including the indices that
John mentioned just now.


If you, and the others, are interested, I could post the report here.
It is just about a page long.
