indexing speeds up queries but slows down inserts/updates. if you do live
inserts/updates of accouting records into mysql then the accounting threads
are goign to be blocking up the system. either fix this by moving to
a better DB system - eg postgresql ;-) - or by moving to using buffered-sql
virtual server for your accounting (fairly trivial...configure the buffered-sql
virtual server, soft link it into sites-enabled and then change calls to 'sql'
in your accounting sections of main virtual server to be 'detail'. tada!
