Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. It shouldn't be 10%, unless it's cache effects. And for leaf routines (which never establish a frame), this is a non-issue.

With a staff of slightly over 175 full-time employees (less than 1/2 in consulting roles), we must therefore focus on highly-leveraged performance analysis projects, rather than labor-intensive ones. Here I assumed a particular analytical function for the amount of memory traffic as a function of cache size to scale the bandwidth time.

Query plan analysis can also provide valuable insights. Efficient memory management, including optimizing query caches and buffer pools, can help strike the right balance between memory consumption and query response times. Another highly beneficial caching method is key-value caching.

When deciding what to pick, there are many things to consider, like where the proxy needs to be, if it “just” needs to redirect the connections, or if more features need to be in, like caching and filtering, or if it needs to be integrated with some MySQL embedded automation. Instead, an analysis needs to be done.
