I know they're not great queries as such but I naively expected "everything"
would run faster on mysql 5.5 regardless, not 3 times slower!

I have seen that link in the past and again I just assumed given both
machines are similar for disk access the bad query results would be
comparable.

Do you mean the bad queries are just measuring disk speed or do you mean I
should use disk speed as a test?  Sysbench fileio is much faster on the new
machine than the old one.

makes no sense to measure anything but disk speed

is a query not using indexes

they are generally useless examples, see above

what is a "single threaded query"?
