Do you have any references to the reasoning that suggests InnoDB over 
MyISAM? I have been under the impression that MyISAM is preferable in 
situations where reads are much more prevalent than writes AND where 
transactional support is not required. I'd be extremely interested in 
learning if/why this is not actually true.

Thanks
