I'm not saying it's not possible, but are you sure this slowdown is caused by the disk? It's certainly a possibility, but I would like to make sure it's caused by that before jumping into conclusions. Can you load the full database in RAM and perform the same test. TBH, I don't use MariaDB, so I'm not sure what's the best way to achieve this, but a quick search on google shows there are multiple ways. In any case, make sure with iostat that the database is not read from the disk. Roger.home | help
