Okay, carefully edit your /etc/my.cnf (ask if you don’t know how to edit) and REPLACE what’s in there with this:

[mysqld]

max_connections = 400

key_buffer = 16M

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 32M

join_buffer_size = 1M

read_buffer_size = 1M

sort_buffer_size = 2M

table_cache = 1024

thread_cache_size = 286

interactive_timeout = 25

wait_timeout = 1000

connect_timeout = 10

max_allowed_packet = 16M

max_connect_errors = 10

query_cache_limit = 1M

query_cache_size = 16M

query_cache_type = 1

tmp_table_size = 16M

skip-innodb

[mysqld_safe]

open_files_limit = 8192

[mysqldump]

quick

max_allowed_packet = 16M

[myisamchk]

key_buffer = 32M

sort_buffer = 32M

read_buffer = 16M

write_buffer = 16M

[mysqlhotcopy]

interactive-timeout

After you edit it you’ll need to restart the mysql engine by typing this in the ssh:

service mysql restart

(optionally there’s also a mysql restart in cpanel)

Then do a couple of refreshes on your bbPress pages and it should seem a bit zippier.
