Hi Rick,
I thought you have to dedicate 70-80% of available RAM not a total RAM.
Saying if I have 2 gig of RAM on my exclusively innodb box, and I dedicate 1.4Gig to innodb pool, my 64-bit linux machine will start swapping heavily. If I set it to 800-900M, it just fine and I have like 100M of RAM left for some occasional process. I did try it.
Thanks,
Igor

Run your query twice; take the second time.  For most queries the first run

cached, timing.

Please provide EXPLAIN SELECT, SHOW CREATE TABLE, and we will critique your 
indexes and query plan.

Handler* is another way to get consistent values.  These numbers are unaffected 
by caching.

1GB buffer_pool?  You have only 2GB of available RAM?  Normally, if you are 
running only InnoDB, the buffer_pool should be set to about 70% of available 
RAM.

Does your query use proper indexes.
Does your query scan less number blocks/rows can you share the explain
plan of the sql

Hello,

I have 12Gb DB and 1Gb InnoDB pool. My query takes 50 seconds when it
reads data from disk and about 2 seconds when data already exists in
pool. And it may take 10 seconds when _some_ pages are on disk and
some are in pool.
So, what is the best way to test query performance? I have several
ideas:
* Count 'Innodb_rows_read' or 'Innodb_pages_read' instead of actual
time
* Set pool as small as possible to reduce its effect on query speed
* Set pool larger than my db and run query to load all data into pool
and measure speed then

How do you measure your queries' speed?
