    Hello, If you are using MySQL 5.6, we strongly no longer recommend mysqltuner to be used. Please review the following thread I just posted on this: Warning on using mysqltuner for MySQL 5.6

Current long_query_time = 0.100000 sec. You have 2391899 out of 15243904 that take longer than 0.100000 sec. to complete Your long_query_time seems to be fine BINARY UPDATE LOG The binary update log is NOT enabled. You will not be able to do point in time recovery See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/point-in-time-recovery.html WORKER THREADS Current thread_cache_size = 16 Current threads_cached = 8 Current threads_per_sec = 0 Historic threads_per_sec = 0 Your thread_cache_size is fine MAX CONNECTIONS Current max_connections = 300 Current threads_connected = 9 Historic max_used_connections = 36 The number of used connections is 12% of the configured maximum. Your max_connections variable seems to be fine. INNODB STATUS Current InnoDB index space = 39 M Current InnoDB data space = 61 M Current InnoDB buffer pool free = 0 % Current innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128 M Depending on how much space your innodb indexes take up it may be safe to increase this value to up to 2 / 3 of total system memory MEMORY USAGE Max Memory Ever Allocated : 1.05 G Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 862 M Configured Max Global Buffers : 972 M Configured Max Memory Limit : 1.79 G Physical Memory : 70.65 G Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms KEY BUFFER Current MyISAM index space = 473 M Current key_buffer_size = 700 M Key cache miss rate is 1 : 14274 Key buffer free ratio = 73 % Your key_buffer_size seems to be too high. Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere QUERY CACHE Query cache is enabled Current query_cache_size = 128 M Current query_cache_used = 120 M Current query_cache_limit = 1 M Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 94.29 % Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K However, 2194760 queries have been removed from the query cache due to lack of memory Perhaps you should raise query_cache_size MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size SORT OPERATIONS Current sort_buffer_size = 256 K Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 256 K Sort buffer seems to be fine JOINS Current join_buffer_size = 2.00 M You have had 1318 queries where a join could not use an index properly You have had 1287 joins without keys that check for key usage after each row You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes" Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log. If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass. Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when ANY joins not using indexes are found. OPEN FILES LIMIT Current open_files_limit = 20000 files The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage. Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine TABLE CACHE Current table_open_cache = 6144 tables Current table_definition_cache = 400 tables You have a total of 4488 tables You have 4668 open tables. The table_cache value seems to be fine You should probably increase your table_definition_cache value. TEMP TABLES Current max_heap_table_size = 32 M Current tmp_table_size = 32 M Of 352108 temp tables, 44% were created on disk Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables. If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact your ratio of on disk temp tables. TABLE SCANS Current read_buffer_size = 128 K Current table scan ratio = 39578 : 1 You have a high ratio of sequential access requests to SELECTs You may benefit from raising read_buffer_size and/or improving your use of indexes. TABLE LOCKING Current Lock Wait ratio = 1 : 191 You may benefit from selective use of InnoDB. If you have long running SELECT's against MyISAM tables and perform frequent updates consider setting 'low_priority_updates=1' If you have a high concurrency of inserts on Dynamic row-length tables consider setting 'concurrent_insert=ALWAYS'.

    Based on the results I can tell that you got some not optimized code/script, is it some custom code ? or maybe some CMS with a lot of non optimized third party plugins the output is of course better, now MyISAM buffer fits in memory [OK] Key buffer size / total MyISAM indexes: 700.0M/473.5M so thats good, improvement should be significant for MyiSAM table queries

    its a shared server so I don't have control over the queries but still I am planing to contact some clients who are major contributor to these queries. Do you think there is more room to trade of between ram/cpu. I have plenty of ram available which I can use. Server Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (16 cores) 72 GB Ram 8x1TB HDD in RAID 10. Server load Peaks at 5-6 SAR CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle Average: all 21.07 0.18 4.29 0.08 0.00 74.39 free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 72346 35896 36450 0 1115 28230 -/+ buffers/cache: 6549 65796 Swap: 16171 205 15966

    you can increase 2 main buffers for the future when data grows key_buffer_size = 5G innodb_buffer_pool_size = 5G except that, nothing much else to do if you can't optimize the queries anyway current changes should make significant improvements, especially on MyISAM tables
