Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.24-1
Severity: wishlist

As far as I can tell using gmemusage, by default, right after install, 
mysql-server-5.0 will be reported using more than 100 Mb in mem.

If I just disable InnoDB with skip-innodb in my.cnf, I then get an around 40 Mb 
figure.

Is InnoDB really worth activated by default, if it eats so much memory ?

I've seen that in the changelog :

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.9-2)
  * Enabled InnoDB by default as recommended by Arjen Lentz from MySQL.

However, I would guess that keeping innodb distributed but disableing it by 
default in the conf file would be a better choice for standard install.

Comments welcome.

Best regards,
