InnoDB uses 2 to 8 times the storage space, memory, and has increased CPU usage over MyISAM regardless of configuration. This is a fact that nobody can argue, and in my mind would be bad for small servers or especially those who wish to run minilogin and the client on the same machine.
And the reason I mentioned the second part is because I recently installed Gentoo on a test machine and the version of MySQL 5 it grabbed did not have the InnoDB engine with it, I had to dig up another package.
