May 31, 2017 at 15:18 comment added Rick James YES - the caching of the buffer_pool is very important to InnoDB performance. By using fewer blocks in one query, you are less likely to be bumping out blocks that someone else may need soon. For a mysql-only server with 64GB, 50G might be a good size for the buffer_pool. (There is no need for it to be much bigger than the total of all tables and indexes.)
May 31, 2017 at 14:56 comment added Mattiavelli Thanks for the information @rick. If we hit this scale we'd be running on a 64gb instance so the innodb_buffer_pool_size could be increased to 32gb+. Can you clarify what you mean by : That is, the caching in the buffer_pool may be useful? Do you mean that the buffer_pool could be less (since less blocks are used) or something else ?
