mysql 5.5参数--innodb_read(write)_io_threads

### 5.1
# innodb_file_io_threads
# The number of file I/O threads in InnoDB.
# Normally, this should be left at the default value of 4, but disk I/O on Windows may benefit from a larger number.
# On Unix, increasing the number has no effect; InnoDB always uses the default value.

### 5.5
innodb_read_io_threads=4 # (default)
innodb_write_io_threads=4 # (default)

#我们发现，
#在5.1的4个FILE_iO 线程包括:
insert buffer thread
log thread
read thread
write thread

#而在5.5, 总共有10个FILE_IO线程
(insert buffer thread) * 1
(log thread) * 1
(read thread) * 4
(write thread) * 4

有了更多读写线程的支持，也相应地增加了INNODB更大的并发能力；
期待5.5版本的更快成熟；
