Armando, please come back when you know what you are talking about.
Complexity has nothing to with the load and although comparing
complexity is subjective, it is clear that "a" has less complexity than
"a plus mysql".
There is no excuse for wasting resources, whether they seem to be
available when you install the system or not. If you think otherwise,
you are not a good admin and deserve all the mysql that you appear to be
running already.
If your data are mostly stable, than the probability for data corruption
is not as high as for other people with mysql, but it is still there.
Whether you want it or not, you have an unnecessary risk of data
corruption.
Good system engineering means that you minimize the risk for data loss,
corruption or unauthorized manipulation while maximizing performance.
By installing mysql without need, you violate all of the above points.
Whine and insult my mother all you want, you are still a bad admin with
bad spelling.
Felix
