Fascinating libdrizzle benchmark results
Spreading the word about Jay’s awesome findings on the libdrizzle benchmark against the original library inherited from MySQL. For those that aren’t familiar with libdrizzle, it is a fresh new (modern implementation) MySQL compatible client library for Drizzle that leverages asynchronous I/O and smarter memory usage founded by Eric Day.
You can read how this library came to life in this thread:
As you can see in Jay’s findings with sysbench, libdrizzle outperforms the original library in all concurrency levels by a rather significant figure (e.g. 41.16% performance increase at only two threads). If you’re interested in gaining more performance from Drizzle or MySQL in the future, you should really start looking into this library now.
This was the first blog entry I read this morning and hey, it really kick started my day. Eric you rock! and thanks to Jay for sharing his findings.
