BTW, using div operator is not necessarily the best way to split data, you may want these to be ranges by using a helper table in MySQL to define those ranges, mixing it with sql_query_range or something else, depending on how your data looks like.
Finishing line
I always loved how Sphinx scales out easily with as many machines you need and have been running it this way for many years now, however I think I don't utilize this feature to make queries even faster on a one-machine …

BTW internally there's some differences between numeric attributes and character based as well as multi-value attributes ( MVAs), but for the purpose of our discussion it's enough to know that attributes are not indexed.
For example..
Now let me give you few examples so it's not just an empty talk. For the examples below I will be using SphinxQL protocol which looks like talking to MySQL server, but it's not. It is me talking to Sphinx server.

Assays can often be developed using antibodies and/or aptamers (really cool technology, BTW), and for a proof-of-principle it should be possible to start with diabetes patients who have to sample their blood periodically anyway. The use of saliva or urine samples would be nice, but unfortunately most biomarkers will be in the blood...

Back in 2003, I wrote a post about designing the blank slate . BTW : The web-based application mentioned in the post was the original version of Basecamp which wasn't released until 2004.
The blank slate is the initial state of an application right after someone signs up. It's blank, there's no data, no photos, no content at all. A bad blank slate is like someone opening the door and just staring at you uncomfortably. A great blank slate is like someone opening the door, smiling, and warmly welcoming you inside.

Btw, there are two kind of Google Charts (which was confusing initially). The Image Charts API can be used to display charts as plain images. You just need to build a URL with query parameters that specify what chart image you want and put it into an img tag on your page. There are gems that provide helper methods to easily display image charts. However, the cool stuff comes with Google Chart Tools which adds nice, interactive charts using HTML5 to your page.

When we started thinking about the design of the all new Basecamp, we had three key things in mind:
Speed
Big picture
Focus
With that in mind, and many experiments later, we came up with a unique interface that is crazy fast, excellent for big picture broad overviews, and perfectly tailored for quick focus with no distractions.
We call it page stacking and we think you're going to love it. Here's a brief video I just put together to show you how it works (it looks best in full screen mode, BTW ).
