Hi List,

In a 20m interval in our max load I have:

OS WAIT ARRAY INFO: reservation count 637, signal count 625
Mutex spin waits 0, rounds 19457, OS waits 428
RW-shared spins 238, OS waits 119; RW-excl spins 13, OS waits 8

(The values are the difference between the start and end of this 20m
interval)

The machine has 2 CPU's and usually has 40-50% of idle CPU.

Our workload consists on lots of parallel simple queries (SELECTs and
UPDATEs with a simple condition on the PK) on a 500k record/40MB table with
an INDEX on the PK.

| innodb_sync_spin_loops          | 20                                     |
| innodb_thread_concurrency       | 16                                     |
| innodb_thread_sleep_delay       | 10000                                  |

I've been sampling my innodb status and there are always "16 queries inside
InnoDB" and some 20-30 in queue. Therefore lowering thread_sleep_delay won't
help.

Since I have 47 spin rounds per OS Wait, would innodb gain something with
rising sync_spin_loops a little bit?

Also, should I be capping thread_concurrency with a 2 CPU machine?

Unfortunately this machine only has 2 RAID1 disks. I can't spread the disk
load (datafile/logfiles) between disks.

                    extended device statistics
    r/s    w/s   kr/s   kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t  %w  %b device
    0.0   83.7    0.0  379.3  0.0  1.0    0.1   11.5   1  94 d2 (/var)

Usually the iostat busy indicator is near 100%.

Any hints on something I could tune to have less "OS Waits" and help with
the Disk I/O?

If nothing else can be done I'll advise the client to acquire new HW for
this BD.

By the way, upgrading from 5.0.45-log to 5.1.50 would make a huge difference
in terms of performance?
