17 Let's start with "which version ?"
18
19 I'd have to look through all testing docs for the period but I remember
20 that we tested NTPL with 4.0 and found it hurt our performance.

22 Similar work-load: webservers, reading from slaves, writing only to the
23 replication-master, PHP
24 Maybe different sizing? We have a very large database spanning well over
25 35Gb now, with some extremely large tables in it. Most dbservers are
26 IO-bound not CPU-bound.
