......
Read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M
Myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
Thread_cache_size = 8
Query_cache_size= 16M
# Try number of CPU ' s*2 for thread_concurrency
Thread_concurrency = 8
Skip-grant
......
Restart MySQL
[Email protected] ~]# mysqld restart
Shutting down MySQL. success!
Starting MySQL. success!
