Several months ago, Vadim blogged about the impact of a query rewrite plugin on performance. We decided to re-evaluate the latest release of 5.7(5.7.14), which includes fixes for this issue.
I reran tests for MySQL 5.7.13 and 5.7.14 using the same setup and the same test: sysbench OLTP_RO without and with the query rewrite plugin enabled.
MySQL 5.7.14 performs much better, with almost no overhead. Let’s check PMP for these runs:

Also, note that the fix for this issue should help to improve performance for any other audit based API plugins.
