I think it's definitely reasonable to tune important production databases.

But for many people databases have become commodity applications that they install and then forget. So even in reality not all installments will be properly tuned.



Who does this?!

I know it happens because I inherit them often. But seriously knock it off.

Errrrr. Better yet don’t, job stability.

Nothing to see here. Move along.


Which is why many apps are slow... People search for a new toy, rather than learn what they already have.

It seems unlikely to me that this group of people would reach benchmark posts.


People using them that way probably don't care about performance very much, though.
