Description:
Hi,
We are running performance test between MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8. The topology is one master and 2 slaves.
We setup the environment on AWS, so we can make sure all MySQL use the same OS, CPU/RAM/Disk. We also make sure both environments receive the similar data with same through input.
From the result of "show engine innodb status", the number of insert/update/delete rows are very close during the whole test (about 24 hours). But the "OS file writes" and "OS fsyncs" on MySQL8 is 3x of MySQL5.7.
=======================================================
For MySQL 5.7
Process ID=20449, Main thread ID=140536631523072, state: sleeping
Number of rows inserted 4085861, updated 3108647, deleted 1024718, read 1507019710
122309 OS file reads, 8055960 OS file writes, 3396984 OS fsyncs
0.00 reads/s, 0 avg bytes/read, 81.84 writes/s, 43.43 fsyncs/s
======================================================
For MySQL8
Process ID=23772, Main thread ID=140174189745920 , state=sleeping
Number of rows inserted 4071275, updated 3134809, deleted 1001634, read 1488377798
Pending flushes (fsync) log: 0; buffer pool: 432
3186 OS file reads, 22457680 OS file writes, 11971793 OS fsyncs
0.00 reads/s, 0 avg bytes/read, 138.35 writes/s, 77.29 fsyncs/s
The final result is that the cost of the same insert on MySQL8 is degrades about 60 ~ 80% after running 24 hours. Take following result for example, we collect the average cost of each hour, at the first few hours, the gap is small. But when more hours past, MySQL degrades worse.

We wonder what could be the reason of this problem, and what variable we can tune.

We don't have program to reproduce it yet.
