MySQL 5.1 vs MySQL 5.5

Hi all

I recently upgraded WHM/cpanel to latest build which now offers MySQL 5.5 as an option. So:-

1. Could this cause an issue for a SMF2.x site?
2. Are they any performance hits or benefits?
3. What's the main benefit of MySQL 5.5 vs MySQL5.1 for SMF?

Thanks for your time.

Cheers

Any suggestions?

CoreISP:
No it should not cause any issues, only improvements :)

It's always recommended to make a backup of your database prior to upgrading though. Hope you did that ;)
It should not post any issues at all, so thats good. Remember that cPanel's structure does demand you recompile your apache for the support packages. Just tell it to rebuild previous saved config and nothing will change.

I just did this last night, Upgrade MySQL option from within WHM. It does take a while. Everything runs fine afterward, I didn't need the database backup I'd made. You can peek at my status.php if you'd like.
