  1. POMysql config optimizing - slow IO response time for 12GB RAM 2 x 2.4GHz Server
    text
    copied!<p>The server takes 20+ seconds (wait time/slow IO response time) to response to a HTTP request even with memcached and APC installed. I believe this has something to do with MYSQL since the site as lots <em>INSERT</em> queries. </p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.
