Geoffrin, running on 64-bit Linux with 4GB of RAM available to MySQL, was able to deal with the large search indexes in memory. Our current database server is on a 32-bit kernel and can only assign 2GB of RAM to the database. Less is available for the (large!) search indexes, and it gets very slow dealing with them. Penguin's fixing it, and if they actually do it right this time it should be back online within a couple of weeks, at which time we can transition over a copy of the database that's being separately synched up now and will be ready with minimal downtime. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
