The use case is the TPC-C benchmark but executed not on a high-end server but on a lower-spec virtual machine that is I/O limited like for example, with AWS EBS volumes. I wanted most of the memory to be available for the file cache, where the compressed SST files will be cached. Now, how does this workload perform on InnoDB?

The recently revealed [Meltdown and Spectre] bugs are not just extraordinary issues of security, but also performance. The patches that workaround Meltdown introduce the largest kernel performance regressions I've ever seen. Some older kernels have the KAISER patches for Meltdown, and so far the performance overheads look similar.

Site performance is potentially the most important metric. The better the performance, the better chance that users stay on a page, read content, make purchases, or just about whatever they need to do. Google’s industry benchmarks from 2018 also provide a striking breakdown of how each second of loading affects bounce rates.

Looking at how people are using COUNT(*) and COUNT(col), it looks like most of them think they are synonyms and just use what they happen to like, while there is a substantial difference in performance and even query results. But why we can’t just cache the actual number of the rows? Extra: Using where 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00

TL;DR: performance budgets are an essential but under-appreciated part of product success and team health. Nobody is trying to do a poor job, and yet the results of a “completed” PWA project often require weeks or months of painstaking rework to deliver minimally acceptable performance. Partner meetings are illuminating.
