Optimize Database



Hello All,
    I have recently added a large database to one of my sites. It has 2 tables, one for basic product information and the other for very specific, in-depth product information.  The first table the products.asc file is 7 MB, but the second table is over 100 MB.  Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to optimize this, speed up searches etc.
   
    Secondly, what is the best way to access the information in the second database?  What I would like is to have a button for more info on the flypage, and have only information from the products.asc on the flypage, and all the extended information on the second page.
 
    Last, I have never had success implementing the mv_max_matches directive for a search.  I have it set to 250, because the database has 75,000 products and it takes perl too long to generate an html response to that. Nonetheless, if I search for something, it will return more than 250 results.
 
Thank you in advance for your responses.
