Hi,

I have two environments running dbmail. I noticed that one mysql server's query graph looks very different to the other. Turns out one has query cache enabled while the other doesn't.

Read about query cache here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/query-cache.html

The server that uses query cache seams to be having a bit more cache hit queries than select queries. Averages of 3.5 select queries per second vs 4.0 cache hit queries per second. It sure looks like a big improvement.

So the question is, has anyone done tests/benchmarks for a dbmail mostly IMAP environment and whether using the query cache has helped. Also how much memory was allocated to query cache.

PS: Might very well be the reason I had awful performance with the lower(blah) selects on a mysql server with no query cache. (dbmail-dev thread "Re: message I sent to dbmail-dev")

Comments?
