Tweaking MySQL for low memory usage
I’m running MySQL on a VPS with limited memory and found the following settings gave slightly better performance. Edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and change the settings as shown below. The old settings I’ve got are the default ones used by Ubuntu 8.04.
key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 16M thread_stack = 128K table_cache = 64 |
key_buffer = 16k max_allowed_packet = 1M thread_stack = 64k table_cache = 4 |
| Old Settings | New Settings |
