Hello,
I am a new user to this site, I hope this is the right forum to ask for expert advise.
I am admin of an online communty for around about 1000 daily visitors and members. A lot of postings are done each day and a lot of images are posted as well.
I am in process of moving my site to a new server. This is configuration of my new server:
Intel Xeon E3-1245 Quad Core
16 GB RAM
Plesk ControlPanel 11.0.9
Debian 6.0.6
Here is mysqltuner results:
-------- General Statistics --------------------------------------------------
[–] Skipped version check for MySQLTuner script
[OK] Currently running supported MySQL version 5.1.63-0+squeeze1
[OK] Operating on 64-bit architecture

[–] Status: -Archive -BDB -Federated +InnoDB -ISAM -NDBCluster
[–] Data in MyISAM tables: 3G (Tables: 434)
[–] Data in InnoDB tables: 72M (Tables: 199)
[–] Data in MEMORY tables: 1016K (Tables: 3)
[!!] Total fragmented tables: 199
-------- Performance Metrics -------------------------------------------------
[–] Up for: 23h 43m 50s (46K q [0.547 qps], 4K conn, TX: 1B, RX: 54M)
[–] Reads / Writes: 76% / 24%
[–] Total buffers: 1.6G global + 3.2M per thread (400 max threads)
[OK] Maximum possible memory usage: 2.9G (18% of installed RAM)
[OK] Slow queries: 0% (0/46K)
[OK] Highest usage of available connections: 1% (7/400)
[OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 1.0G/619.4M
[!!] Key buffer hit rate: 83.9% (1M cached / 184K reads)
[OK] Query cache efficiency: 56.7% (17K cached / 30K selects)
[OK] Query cache prunes per day: 0
[OK] Sorts requiring temporary tables: 0% (1 temp sorts / 1K sorts)
[!!] Joins performed without indexes: 502
[OK] Temporary tables created on disk: 24% (591 on disk / 2K total)

[!!] Table cache hit rate: 18% (553 open / 2K opened)
[OK] Open file limit used: 1% (304/16K)
[OK] Table locks acquired immediately: 100% (33K immediate / 33K locks)
[!!] InnoDB data size / buffer pool: 72.9M/8.0M
-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
Increase table_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits
Variables to adjust:
join_buffer_size (> 1.0M, or always use indexes with joins)
table_cache (> 8000)
innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 72M)

# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
