Tell us more about your site. Number of nodes, users, traffic. What kind of hosting environment, etc?
InnoDB is safer, but consumes more resources.
Hmm... let's see... 7,152 nodes, 4,300 users, and if I read the monthly log correctly, it seems like it averages 15,300 hits/day with a peak of 18,000 hits/day on wednesdays. But I think that might include all the files that go into making a web page (CSS, logo, etc).
We have a shared hosting environment, of the type that doesn't over-sell disk space, so it is somewhat intermediate between a typical shared hosting and a dedicated host.
The servers run RHEL, PHP 5.2.8 and MySQL 5.1.30.
Uhm... I can't think of anything else I can say about the site. Does any of this help answer my question?
