Sorry, I haven't had time to come back to you about this (have been
totally swamped with BIG code reviews lately).

I looked at this and most of the suggestions looks ok

What would also be important is to document which variables one should
change (and why) as things are scaled up as this is not clear now.

I will make sure that someone looks at this shortly to see what we
should add to MariaDB and to the KB as defaults.
(I tried to check the copyrights on the datastrangler page if we could
burrow some of his examples, but couldn't find it :)

Haidong, if you can create a set of files to replace the current ones,
we can quickly get them review and add this to the MariaDB distribution.

Monty
