I have to admit that this was written with the assumption that you are 
not selecting when loading your tables. As for the concurrent inserts 
and selects, MySQL can insert to a MyISAM table that has a lock for 
SELECTs as long as the table has no fragmentation. It may take a bit of 
testing, but I would not think there would be concurrency issues.

I think the Creative Commons license I placed the work under should 
allow this, but thanks for asking in advance anyway, I don't mind at all.
