Benchmark Details The benchmark is sysbench-mariadb (sysbench trunk with a fix for a more scalable random number generator) OLTP simplified to do 1000 point selects per transaction. The data set is 1 million rows in 20 tables. Fewer tables can be used, but below 4 tables the performance drops somewhat due to a hot spot in the table definition cache. This is the my.cnf used for this test: [mysqld]
