Managing storage and performance efficiently in your MySQL database is crucial, and general tablespaces offer flexibility in achieving this. In contrast to the single system tablespace that holds system tables by default, general tablespaces are user-defined storage containers for multiple InnoDB tables.

Tuning In terms of tuning, two parameters can be tuned, the size of the bitmap and the number of bits set by every value. For good performance, the filter blocks are cached in the RocksDB block cache and normally stay there since they are accessed frequently. In most cases a bitmap of a few hundred bytes is sufficient.

To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.
