I don't have a performance issue over 100K.  My DB has reached into the
Gig's before and been fine, I just spread the load, tune MySQL/Apache/and
the ACID config file and am fine.  Once a week I run an optimize table
script.  I have a dual P4 2.0 Gig System with 2 Gigs of RAM running the DB
and a dual P4 2.0 Gig System with 1 Gig of RAM running the web interface.
I also keep all of the sensors separate from the servers.

I have also performance tuned the TCP/IP, Disk IO, and CPU settings where
I could.  I keep Apache (Redhat Version) up-to-date but run an older MySQL
(from MySQL.com) version (3.23.56).

What settings have you tuned? I've configured mudpit, tuned disc IO using hdparm and built Snort for i686, but is there anything else you'd suggest doing for MySQL/Apache/ACID/TCPIP/CPU?

Best Regards,
Alex.
