Hi Jorge,

Apologies for the poor typing on my previous email, was talking to a colleague 
at the same time.  My main advice would be to test as much as possible on a new 
setup prior to committing if your service is a production environment live to 
customers.  We made the mistake of tieing in an upgrade of hardware with an 
upgrade of MySQL to 5.1 without any major testing.  We currently use a number 
of dell 2950's with around 24GB+ of ram (see below) so this gives you an idea 
in terms of our setup:)

 [Master-3] *Redacted*-6:/var/lib/mysql# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         24165      23969        195          0         54       1978
-/+ buffers/cache:      21937       2228

So, my main advice is test and test some more where humanly possible:)  I'd 
also delve into google and see what negatives people have regarding performance 
for MySQL 5.5.  Is it actually released as stable yet?  As I thought it was 
still in BETA?

Hi James,

Well... that leaves me with one foot behind.
Right now I'm on 5.0 also, with file_per_table configured for InnoDB, and with 
a small P4 3.0 with HT with 3,2GB RAM (ya...3,2... stupid Motherboard!!), on 
LinuxRAID, I don't have any performance issues.

I've read that 5.5 will bypass the 5.1 performance issues, and will be faster 
evan than 5.0 .

We moved our DBmail installation to MySQL 5.1 and that was a huge mistake, we 
had massive performance problems.  Note that We use DBMail 2.2 with 9000 users:

191G    ./dbmail

We used separate innodb table files and the data has recently been dumped in 
and out again reducing empty table space.

We won't be moving away from stable 5.0 from a long time..

Kind Regards

James Greig

Howdy people,

I'd like to know if there's anyone in MySQL 5.5 (now RC).
I'd like to plan my upgrade of DBMail with MySQL 5.5 on new hardware...

If anyone or Paul has feedback about this, please send some feedback,

Thanks,
Jorge,
