Hi, thanks for the advice. I have added type table storage engine as an option in config.php. This will be in the next release.

What happens if your host has disabled Innodb support on your rented MySQL database?

Mine has.

Don't know why.

Then you run with type ISAM?

Sounds good!

Excuse the foolish post. I posted before I saw your solution as part of config.php.

Never had any performance issues with limesurvey or phpsurveyor. It is simply not an issue. What is much more difficult is to find people who like to take part in a survey.

The main requirement for a system running limesurvey is low energy consumption since it will probably be running 24/7. For this reason I've been running phpsurveyor during some years on a pentium 200 MHZ box. It consumed a decent 45 watts. Performance was great. A nice choice now is to use a mac mini, eventually running linux if you like, since these machines are very energy efficient.

If you are running Windows you might see a less good performance due to the activity of the virus scanner.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
