I think it's a common misconception that MySQL will grow to meet the
settings in my.cnf.
That is, if you have 32M of actively used indexes, there is no
difference between key_buffer = 64M
and key_buffer = 512M. Similarly, if you have a need for 128 cached
tables, you'll gain
no benefit with table_cache = 1024. MySQL uses only what it needs to,
when it needs to.
Large values in my.cnf just set the upper limit. If operating below
these limits, no increase
in them will have affect. When you hit the upper limit, then these
settings can have a dramatic
affect. E.g., you have 32M of actively used indexes, but key_buffer =
16M; this will probably
cause your key read ratio to exceed 0.01 as MySQL resorts to reading
indexes from the
hard drive, completely negating their usefulness.
In short, I would not worry about benchmarking defaults against
my-huge.cnf. Make my.cnf
fit your server, then optimize your queries.
