Re: [development] Counterintuitive but true: Caching makes a high-traffic site slower

Whether we can support InnoDB out of the box depends on its availability/adoption. Do we have any references about that? Any other systems that ship with InnoDB?

Perhaps Drupal can be engine-agnostic, i.e. ships with all the CREATE TABLE statements *without* a "type=" part. In most cases, this will default to MyISAM. But again, how many need Inno anyway? They can do ALTER TABLE or any of the other methods if they so wish. So, is it worth the trouble doing all this for 1% of the users?
