Description:
These defaults (no my.cnf) are so 1990s...

key buffer size = 8 m
thread cache size = 0

Could they be increased (in the source/binary, not in the .cnf)?
Key buffer to at least 64 m, maybe 256 m.
Thread cache to at least 16.

triage: this is a border line feature request / minor bug as values can be set in cnf file and the code values are just default. - setting tag to CHECKED
