Introduction
Recently a customer claimed that his queries were slow some times and sometimes they were fast.
First idea: Flipping query execution plan caused by InnoDB could be skipped because it affected mainly MyISAM tables.
Second idea: Caching effects by either the file system cache caching MyISAM data or the MyISAM key buffer caching MyISAM indexes were examined: File system cache was huge and MyISAM key buffer was only used up to 25%.
I was a bit puzzled...
