[ic] slow mysql search

[sda sda <cafedvd@yahoo.com>]

I am using mysql and the database has 60,000 rows.
Search on an indexed text field usually takes less
than 3 seconds. 
But, occastionally, it takes over 25 seconds.

I do not see memory swap on
my machine when this slow search occurs.

Does anyone know what could possibly cause this
occasional slow search?  

thanks in advance,
steve
