2.17.5. Compiling and Linking an Optimized
Most of the following tests were performed on Linux with the MySQL benchmarks, but they should give
some indication for other operating systems and workloads.
You obtain the fastest executables when you link with -static.
By using better compiler and compilation options, you can obtain a 10% to 30% speed increase in
applications. This is particularly important if you compile the MySQL server yourself.
When we tested both the Cygnus CodeFusion and Fujitsu compilers, neither was sufficiently bug-free
to enable MySQL to be compiled with optimizations enabled.
The standard MySQL binary distributions are compiled with support for all character sets. When you
compile MySQL yourself, you should include support only for the character sets that you are going to
use. This is controlled by the
Here is a list of some measurements that we have made:
• If you link dynamically (without -static), the result is 13% slower on Linux. Note that you still can
use a dynamically linked MySQL library for your client applications. It is the server that is most critical
for performance.
• For a connection from a client to a server running on the same host, if you connect using TCP/IP
rather than a Unix socket file, performance is 7.5% slower. (On Unix, if you connect to the host name
localhost, MySQL uses a socket file by default.)
• For TCP/IP connections from a client to a server, connecting to a remote server on another host is
8% to 11% slower than connecting to a server on the same host, even for connections faster than
100Mb/s Ethernet.
• When running our benchmark tests using secure connections (all data encrypted with internal SSL
support) performance was 55% slower than with unencrypted connections.
• If you compile with
