> | Qcache_free_memory | 46945512 | That's a big fraction of the total. Either the QC is unnecessarily big, or it was recently purged. > | Qcache_lowmem_prunes | 21948806 | What is Uptime? This may be a lot of prunes per second. Purging stuff out of 128MB _may_ slow your system down more than the benefit you are getting. I recommend turning off the QC for systems with constant write activity. Otherwise, 50M is a reasonable max. > -----Original Message----- > From: raphi...@gmail.com [mailto:raphi...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of > Raphael Bauduin > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 7:12 AM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: qcache settings and block meaning > > Hi, > > I have a mysql server running with the query cache size being 128M > (134217728 bytes). > > Here are the qcache variables values: > > | Qcache_free_blocks | 13758 | > | Qcache_free_memory | 46945512 | > | Qcache_hits | 56418967 | > | Qcache_inserts | 48601636 | > | Qcache_lowmem_prunes | 21948806 | > | Qcache_not_cached | 39066097 | > | Qcache_queries_in_cache | 44858 | > | Qcache_total_blocks | 104668 > > And the query_cache_min_res_unit is 4096 . > > I'm not sure what the meaning of a block is.
