MySQL – Slow InnoDB Write Speeds on Windows 10

I have Windows 10 bootcamped. I've installed the latest version of MySQL community server. I've also installed WordPress onto IIS. The MacBook has 16Gb of memory. Here is my config file

Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong or do you need more information? I've tried following various guides but getting lost with all the options avilable.

Currently looking at a maximum of 20 writes per second!

Thanks

RECOMMENDATION #1

You have innodb_thread_concurrency at 17. It really needs to be zero(0). Why ?

Rather than rehash stuff I wrote in the past, please read the 7 posts I wrote about innodb_thread_concurrency being the best choice at 0.

RECOMMENDATION #2

Using a small log buffer can be a bottleneck when writing to the redo logs.

Please read my 3-yr-old post MySQL transaction size - how big is too big? why it should be bigger

I recommend innodb_log_buffer_size being set to 128M

RECOMMENDATION #3

The redo log needs to larger as well. You have

You have innodb_log_file_size at the default size for MySQL 5.6 : 48M

I recommend setting innodb_log_file_size = 1G.

RECOMMENDATION #4

You have flush_time set to 0. IMHO For any Windows OS, that's a big NO-NO.

The default is 1800 for Windows. I don't trust MySQL flushing to disk every 30 min in Windows.

I recommend flush_time to 300 (every five(5) minutes)

RECOMMENDATION #5

You should increase the IO threads

The defaults are

innodb_read_io_threads = 4
innodb_write_io_threads = 4

Percona Server's defaults are

innodb_read_io_threads = 8
innodb_write_io_threads = 8

You should start with 8 for both innodb_read_io_threads and innodb_write_io_threads.

GIVE IT A TRY !!!

I have so much more to recommend in terms of per-connection buffers : How costly is opening and closing of a DB connection?
