Thanks for that Charter,

You gave Brilliant support with that reply to my question.
It did take an age to process but then the database is quite large now.
The problem is now resolved.
I did upgrade the server with an extra Gig of RAM and the speed of the searches has increased by around 30% which is really good.

I now run a cron job on the server every 60mins which reports back to me the state of the file system on the server, often a few TMP files need removing and the speed comes back up.
The speed issue with Phpdig can be helped with an increase in the memory, with the RAID system using Linux it can produce large TMP files if the memory usage rises a heap.
Memory usage in my server was often around 90% or higher which made it write temp files to the hard disk and the increase of available RAM has assisted it's speed a heap.
Linux Strike needed to have it's kernel changed and updated to see the free memory increase but it is now flying.

Thanks for your great help and assistance.
All the best
Dave A
