Optimization is a complicated task because it ultimately requires understanding of the whole system. While it may be possible to perform some local optimizations with small knowledge of your system or application, the more optimal you want your system to become the more you will have to know about it.

This chapter tries to explain and give some examples of different ways to optimize MySQL. Remember, however, that there are always some (increasingly harder) additional ways to make the system even faster.
