Killes and m3avrck did loads of work in the area of speedups for heavy-write tables like watchdog and accesslog. Their work nearly made it into 5.1, but it was too late. The functionality will be going into 6.x.
What killes found was merge tables. This will work on all Drupal supported MySQL versions.
I talked to a MySQL employee and merge tables will probably disappear. They are deprecated by the partitioning.
Well, that means the _might_ disappear in MySQL 5.2 or whatever next version. I don't see a reason to not use them until then. The patch accounts for the fact that an install might not have merge tables, btw. Cheers, Gerhard
