what happened to “videos”?
The videos aren’t ready yet.
Hi, just watched the video of the presentation and since I am just in the process of moving a WP installation with 20 sites (which works kind of, but not exactly, like MS) and the first memory usage optimization that I have done is to turn off the innodb in mysql, I was kind of alarmed that you strongly recommend on using innodb instead of myism.
From what I googled by now, it seems that the performance benefits are related to insertion and deletion (and some extra stability) but is it really noticeable difference on wordpress?
Maybe I’m just afraid of change…. but since I’m backing up and restoring right now, I don’t want to add some extra work if I don’t have to.
Unless you have a specific reason for using MyISAM (and there are a few, but aren’t common for most WP sites) you should always use InnoDB.
