95% of mysqld-installations have no problem with innodb_file_per_table so DEFAULTS should not be for 5% and as said in another reply to this thread you need "innodb_file_per_table" for compression and no, most servers these days are NOT cpu-bound most are IO-bound especially in enterprise environments with shared storage (SAN) > And yes, it is problematic for beginners, but so is having beginners > manage production sites, isn't it? not only for beginners very few people expecting that a datastorage is only growing and growing with no painless way to release all the wasted space if you make tests with real big data and drop them this has nothing to do with "enterprise" or "beginners" it is a surprising behavior and defaults should minimize surprises
