As a Postgres user, something I find our community keeps hammering is MySQL's reluctance to do things safely. Be that fsyncing, or what, I'm never entirely sure. I don't mean to further smear MySQL, just point out that this might not be a regression. It might be MySQL fixing bigger issues in default configurations. Spending 18% raw performance might be worth it.
