Re: Tips to reduce the IO times / alice hot li....

In Response To: Re: Tips to reduce the IO times / alice hot list o (Art Kagel)

Ok, thanks Art.
There reminds me of doing another question kkkkkkkk.
There could be any improve on our IO performance, if we try to optimize
our BUFFERPOOL settings?
now we have:
BUFFERPOOL
size=2K,buffers=100000,lrus=128,lru_min_dirty=50.000000,lru_max_dirty=60.000000
BUFFERPOOL
size=16K,buffers=500000,lrus=80,lru_min_dirty=65.000000,lru_max_dirty=80.000000

Since the non-transactional databases are on 16Kb pagesizes,
what does the lrus parameter could impact on performance? Or just it
impact memory usage, really?
Our lru initial values are even "hard" enough or if we increse it to
70.0 / 90.0 we could impact some performance?

Obs: on our OLTP instance, a simple adjust on our BTSCANNER raised our
idle times to 95 % averages!

Regards for your quality technical answers.... it´s always a tech
"bible" for us!
