Check the overhead of your table.. sometimes if could get a bit large if you're constantly creating/deleting things.

Also optimise your queries - do you need to run a query inside a loop of another query or can you use JOIN, also do you have primary keys defined.

Do you place LIMITS on results so that you only query the records you require?

All of these and more can help - google optimising MySQL queries.

Also I read that sorting etc is 4000% faster in PHP than in MySQL.

it is just a simple select query to search whether a mobile number exit or not... but searching criteria is very large..its more than 10lac.

try using LIMIT 1 - since this will stop the query when it reaches the first result?

Jump out of a deep gravity well, this should speed things up quite nicely.
