I'm trying to tweak my MySQL config on my Magento 1.9 install, without Full Page Cache installed on the server it run's really slow and I'm pretty sure its something to do with the MySQL Config.

Could you take a look at my my.cnf file and share some recommendations - I've run mysqltuner.pl and I'll share this information too:

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

General recommendations:

    Control warning line(s) into /var/log/mysql/error.log file

    Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance

      OPTIMIZE TABLE `db_db.log_visitor`; -- can free 66 MB

      OPTIMIZE TABLE `db_db.log_visitor_info`; -- can free 101 MB

      OPTIMIZE TABLE `db_db.report_event`; -- can free 55 MB

    Total freed space after theses OPTIMIZE TABLE : 222 Mb

    Restrict Host for user@% to user@SpecificDNSorIp

    Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability

    Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.

    Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1

    Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes

    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal

    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries which have no LIMIT clause

    Increase table_open_cache gradually to avoid file descriptor limits

    Read this before increasing table_open_cache over 64: http://bit.ly/1mi7c4C

    Beware that open_files_limit (1024) variable

    should be greater than table_open_cache (407)

Variables to adjust:

  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***

  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***

    query_cache_size (=0)

    query_cache_type (=0)

    query_cache_limit (> 1M, or use smaller result sets)

    join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with joins)

    tmp_table_size (> 16M)

    max_heap_table_size (> 16M)

    table_open_cache (> 407)

    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 7G) if possible.

    innodb_log_file_size * innodb_log_files_in_group should be equal to 1/4 of buffer pool size (=3G) if possible.

    innodb_buffer_pool_instances(=7)

Server Spec

12 CPU's
12GB Ram

Suggestions to consider for your my.cnf [mysqld] section to improve performance
Lead with # spacebar the following to allow defaults vs overallocation for

sort_buffer_size

read_buffer_size

read_rnd_buffer_size

adjust the following:

query_cache_type=0  # for NONE to disable QC

query_cache_size=0  # from 16M 

query_cache_limit=0  # from default for max size of 1 RESULT into QC

query_cache_min_res_unit=512  # from 4096 to conserve RAM, not used

thread_cache_size=100  # from 256 for CAP see refman V8 to avoid OOM

innodb_lru_scan_depth=100  # from 1024 to conserve CPU time every second

innodb_flush_neighbors=0  # from ON to conserve CPU SSD has no rotational delay

innodb_purge_threads=4  # from 1 to expedite purge activity

innodb_flushing_avg_loops=10  # from 30 to reduce loop delays

max_write_lock_count=16  # to allow RD after nn write lcks vs 4 Billion

please post progress from time to time, more RAM is needed for your ~800 QPS
