Hi,
I have tried to upgrade from MySQL 3.23.51 to 4.0.2-alpha (both source distribution, same environment, same compiler, same configuration file) and I was puzzled to see that my application became 5 to 10 times slower. Most queries in my application (at least the critical part) are write queries (UPDATEs, INSERTs, REPLACEs). I have isolated a simple example of a query which has become really slower - but other, bigger or more complex queries show the same slowdown. Just do the following under 3.23.51 : CREATE TABLE route_state_change ( date BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, date_end BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, duration BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, route_k BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, state ENUM ('down', 'up') NOT NULL, KEY date (date), KEY route (route_k, date_end), KEY state (state)); Then try the following query (with the mysql client) : INSERT route_state_change (date, route_k, state) VALUES (10297598884803,0x84F00F09383D4C11,'down'), (10297598884803,0xCE7E157EC14416A5,'down'), (10297598884803,0xD665AB1D45B0A608,'down'), (10297598884803,0xFD940CAC8CFD55A6,'down'), (10297598884803,0x3DDB9286093F33C6,'down'), (10297598884803,0xEC1D5ADC0D3C5DBB,'down'), (10297598884803,0x51CB867E525127CC,'down'), (10297598884803,0xCAA6EFB009DC2A02,'down'), (10297598884803,0xF649CFA95CEDA18C,'down'); (just a plain example from my app) In 3.23.51, it always takes 0.00 sec (even repeated several times). After switching to 4.0.2, it always takes 0.08 sec. Which seems huge given that we have a nearly empty table and the query is rather simple !
