Benchmarking MariaDB-5.3.4

février 23, 2012

Last weekend Vadim from Percona published his MariaDB 5.3.4 benchmark results. As the new benchmark guy at Monty Program I take this oportunity to add some more results of my own.

One question in the comments to Vadim was if it is fair to compare MariaDB-5.3 with MySQL-5.5. Or if this comparison should be done with MySQL-5.1. The answer is: it does not matter much. MySQL-5.5 and MySQL-5.1 show very similar results in the Sysbench OLTP benchmark.

So I created a Sysbench environment pretty much like Vadims and tested the following versions of the MySQL Server:

  • MariaDB-5.3.4 – the Monty Program release candidate, both with XtraDB and the InnoDB plugin
  • Percona-Server 5.1.61 because it is based on the same XtraDB version as MariaDB-5.3
  • Percona-Server 5.5.20 – the current Percona flagship
  • MySQL-5.5.20 – the current Oracle flagship

The result…:
