However I wasn't able to produce any bad/good speed change by playing with @@stored_program_cache. Anyone knows the reason?

In the past any routine change would invalidate cache for all routines and that sometimes can still happen but it is rare. The server then interprets the bytecode for every call to the function and yes, the function is executed every time unless you memoize the function ( if(function_input != @last_input) then @last_input = function_input; return @last_result := function(function_input); else return @last_result; On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 6:59 AM, Peter Laursen <peter_laursen@webyog.com> wrote: I really don't know if it should take 2, 5 or 60 seconds. The numbers surprise me (in the bad maner). There is an incredible overhead when wrapping this query in a function. I wonder if there is an invocation of the function for every iteration. -- Peter On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 2:51 PM, Federico Razzoli <federico_raz@yahoo.it> wrote: SELECT 1 was .42. What I find amazing is not the absolute numbers (it's an old computer with desktop installed, etc) but the difference between the tests. If SELECT 1 takes .42, test 2 shouldn't take more than 1 min... do you agree?

How long does benchmark select 1 take? You should find it is faster on your system too, right? --Justin Sent from my iPhone On Mar 3, 2015, at 6:18 AM, Peter Laursen <peter_laursen@webyog.com> wrote: Your 3rd test case takes 2:02 in MariaDB 10.1 and 2:13 in MySQL 5.6 on my system (when otherwise idle) . -- Peter On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 1:58 PM, Federico Razzoli <federico_raz@yahoo.it> wrote: I made some quick test to show what I mean by "performance problem". Note that I'm not saying the the first and the second test cases should perform equally.

Also, the difference between 2) and 3) is that the function in 3) accepts and returns a parameter. Again, the performance difference seems to me too high.
