    php.ini causes disk thrashing in mysql

    Hello. For a while I was developing a site with Apache + PHP + MySQL
    and, because I hadn't put the php.ini in the right place, php was just
    using its default settings. During this time mysql was running fine.
    Recently I put the php.ini file in the right place and since then
    mysql thrashes the disk intensely during a query, even for really
    simple SELECT queries. A php webpage that should finish in less than 2
    seconds now takes 10 seconds. I tried duplicating php's default
    settings (for mysql) in the php.ini file and it still happens, which
    suggests this problem is caused by a setting in the php.ini file which
    is not [obviously] related to mysql. If I can't fix this then I'll
    have to run php without an php.ini file, which is stupid. Anyone have
    any ideas about what settings are causing the disk thrashing?

    Many thanks,
    Marin
