Yeah, the MySQL 5.6 defaults are quite different to the ones mentioned here. Also: - the query cache is now off by default (but 1M) - innodb_additional_mem_pool_size no longer applies. - some of the per-session variables can actually allocate more than once (or not at all). - There is fixed memory allocated for performance_schema per thread.
