Does a MySQL database run faster on Windows server or Windows 10?

Time:10-24

I was wondering if a MySQL database run faster on Windows server 2019 or on Windows 10.

Are the performance based on the operating system or just on the installed hardware?

CodePudding user response:

The only significant differences are

  • HDD (slower) or SSD (faster)
  • Network latency (now close are the client and server)

Other things:

  • CPU -- Today's CPUs don't have much range in speed. And most queries are fast enough that a CPU speed difference is usually not noticeable
  • CPU cores -- See CPU.
  • RAID with hardware write cache -- Beneficial for heavy write situations.
  • OS -- Only if you have very little I/O and network latency might you even be able to measure an OS speed difference.
