I have a WAMP production environment, currently running Apache24, MySQL57, PHP73 on two Windows Server 2016 servers - an application server and a dedicated database server - and I'm toying with the idea to upgrade to MySQL80.
I created a carbon copy of the virtual machines hosting the prod. env. to test out the new version, but I sadly noted, the app running v8.0 is much slower in some cases than the v5.7 install, and I'm wondering, if it's an InnoDB configuration issue.
The 'test' I'm running to check the performance, is a particular single form load in the application, performing 56 SQL SELECT queries in a rapid succession. The v5.7 environment loads the form in ~400 ms (average of 10 requests), while the v.8.0 loads it in ~3500 ms (also average of 10).
The v5.7 configured following this fine post: How large should be mysql innodb_buffer_pool_size? And the v8.0 is using the same configuration, with some minor tweaks, due to compatibility issues. If needed, I can provide the config files of both system.
I tried to use the new built in innodb_dedicated_server config option, but not much changed in the performance.
Is this kind of performance loss is expected from the new MySQL 8.0 - I really hope not - or I just looked over some important steppes in the configuration?
Any help will be appreciated.
