Hi,

test sequence would take about 6 minutes. It includes ~250 000 INSERTS, so no extreme amount. If I would run the same test with my laptop, I estimate the time it would take to about 2½ hours... and the performance hit is more or less completely related to INSERTS.

when it comes to laptops, the speed of hard disks is real slow.

What is the amount of RAM used in the machines. Sometimes, a lot of RAM can compensate this.

I have also a huge difference between normal machine an notebook. But this difference is roughly the same for all programs with intense disk access.

So, RAM could help in your case.

I never used MySQL on a notebook.
