    v13 v14  
    4848When you initially create a BOINC project using [MakeProject make_project], everything runs on a single host: MySQL database server, web server, scheduling server, daemons, tasks, and file upload handler.  Of these tasks, the MySQL server does the most work (typically as much as all the others combined). So, if you need to increase the capacity of your server the first step is to move the MySQL server to a separate host (preferably a fast computer with lots of memory). Specify this host in the [ProjectOptions project configuration file].

     52You can use MySQL's replication mechanism to create a read-only replica.
     53If you [ProjectOptions#db add this to your configuration file],
     54some high-traffic web pages and the db_dump program will use the replica,
     55reducing the load on your main DB server.
