Axes:
Vertical: number of distinct problem queries
Horizontal: Database “query load capacity” gains (from
optimization)
Lines:
LIRQ (long and/or infrequently run queries)
SFRQ (short, frequently run queries)
AC: Absolute capacity (the point at which you’re going as fast as
I/O platform you run on will let you and your query capacity
bottlenecks have less to do with queries and more to do with not
enough IOPS).
Point:
E (subscript) O: Equilibrium of optimization
On LIRQ: Simply put, on a typical OLTP workload, you may have several
long and infrequently running queries on the database that are “problems”
for overall system performance. If you optimize those queries, your
performance gain in load capacity is sometimes fairly small.
On EO: Often run long (or somewhat long) queries are the low hanging
fruit. They should stand out naturally and be a real “apparent pain” in the
processlist or in application response times without even bothering to pt-
query-digest.
