I don't see why this would be a problem, unless your server is fairly slow, or housed with many other websites. My forum has almost 280,000 posts, and at almost all times has 40-90 users online, and I don't use a dedicated database server

In my case, I have a dual PII 600 with 256 Meg memory. I just upgraded to mysql 4 which gave a maior improvement even before I am attempting to optimize my.cnf
