I can see how SELECT and UPDATE statements get slower as a table grows and grows, but what about INSERT ?

INSERTgets slower too, especially if you have a lot of indexes which have to be updated as well.There is a difference between the different storage engines though:
MyISAMis faster for a lot ofSELECT, InnoDB is faster for a lot ofINSERT/UPDATEbecause it uses row locking instead of table locking and the way it handles indexes.
