5.1 had a lot of performance issues
5.5 was a real gain as far as i remember

below my innodb-settings on 5.5, some of them make a real
difference in performance but honestly to long ago to
remember (caution: some of them does not exist before 5.5)

the dataset is around 10 GB and compressed 8 GB on disk
do *not* change "innodb_log_file_size" before carefully read the docs!

innodb_buffer_pool_size                 = 5632M

innodb_file_per_table                   = 1
innodb_open_files                       = 600
innodb_io_capacity                      = 400
innodb_read_io_threads                  = 4
