Server Upgrade, New my.cnf settings

Just upgraded my KnownHost VPS2 to an SSD2, and for just an additional $15 per month I've doubled my available memory, going from 1024mb to 2048mb

Now I'd like to update my SQL memory settings for improved performance. I'm adding sonnb's XenGallery, and I want to make sure that everything functions well.

My old my.cnf was set as follows:

Code:
[mysqld]
local-infile=0
#skip-innodb
set-variable = max_connections=300
safe-show-database
max_tmp_tables=1
query_cache_type=1
query_cache_limit=4M
query_cache_size=32M
thread_cache_size=6
table_cache=475
tmp_table_size=256M
max_heap_table_size=256M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=384M
interactive_timeout=60
wait_timeout=60
#key_buffer = 32M
key_buffer_size=48M
slow_query_log=1 # (1 = on, 0 = off)
slow_query_log_file=slow_query_log.log # (optinal, file name, not full path)
long_query_time=5 # (in seconds)

I've already made one change:
innodb_buffer_pool_size=1152M

I think that's a fairly safe change (but I'm not an expert!), does this seem ok? What other changes should I make?
 
How large are your tables?

For the most part, giving innodb more to munch is probably all you'll need to do.
 
SQL database is 2.35 GB. What tables do you need to know about?

xf_search_index is 1 GB
xf_post is nearly 1 GB

Basically work out how big all your innodb tables are, and give it enough room to store them all in the buffer pool.
