Newer MySQL releases are often more scalable (= works better for multi-threaded applications). On a single threaded basis though, as functionality is added it is difficult to always keep the same performance numbers. When you mentioned that there was a regression in 5.6 as well, it might be interesting to compare to the most recent 5.6. There were some single-threaded regression fixes after the GA release. >> - Do you have a sample schema + set of queries we could look at? >> (We pay close attention to regressions.) > > This will be BIG, since it it so many different queries and tables. > Not sure what you mean by "We pay close attention to regressions”. Bugs that introduce a loss of performance have a higher priority factor applied to them. We are very interested to hear clear cases where an operation takes more time in MySQL 5.7 versus earlier releases. >> In terms of your configuration: >> >> I would usually recommend assuming the default values for some of the >> settings you’ve specified (table_open_cache, sort_buffer_size, >> thread_cache_size, innodb_log_buffer_size, innodb_thread_concurrency..). >> A 25G buffer pool on a 32G server with some of your other buffers being >> quite large is something you may need to look into too. > > I know, but sofare no swapping is taking place.

It looks from show engine innodb status that your server is just starting up, and caches are empty, so versus a 5.5 server that has been running for a while it will likely be slower. What you may be able to do to track a specific set of statements that take longer in 5.7, is convert a mysqlbinlog to sql (mysqlbinlog mybinlogfile > output.sql) and replay it on a 5.5 and 5.7 server. If you can pair it down a little from there, then the output.sql file can be uploaded to bugs.mysql.com and evaluated.
