Also, we find a difference in execution on InnoDB and MyISAM engines. NOTE : All tests were applied for MySQL version 8.0.30, and in the background, I ran every query three to five times to make sure that all of them were fully cached in the buffer pool (for InnoDB) or by the filesystem (for MyISAM).

Efficient memory management, including optimizing query caches and buffer pools, can help strike the right balance between memory consumption and query response times. Key parameters like the buffer pool size significantly impact efficiency by determining how much data MySQL can cache in memory for rapid access.

The amount of computation required on a base update can be reduced by sharing computation and cached data between universes. The authors have built a prototype implementation of these ideas based on the Noria dataflow engine. Implementing this as a joint partially-stateful dataflow is the key to doing this safely.

Redis is better suited for complex data models, and Memcached is better suited for high-throughput, string-based caching scenarios.

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.
