What is limiting MySQL to write max. 10 Inserts per second? I am running an MySQL server. Build a small RAID with 3 harddisks which can Write 300MB/s and this damn MySQL just don't want to speed up the writing. 10 Inserts per second is the max I have seen till now. 

What is the bottleneck?!

Here are some Screenshots:





Answers to comments:


Example table: 10 Double Columns and one Datetime, 500.000 rows (to import)
The inserts I do are just initial data inputs like 500.000 times "insert into ... value ..."
I tried RazorSQL which is sending 500 transactions at once, but no effect.
It is a RAID0 with 3x2TB no-SSD-disks.


Tuning LOG:


SET GLOBAL sync_binlog = 500; results in 20.25 inserts per second.
SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2684354560; no effect
SET innodb_buffer_pool_instances = 4 (in mysqld.conf); setup in config file makes no effect. still instances = 1.
So this is my SOLUTION. Imported my data of 500.000 rows in 3 minutes. In fact a lot of this settings is not for company grade systems. In a private LAN with 1-2 workstations it should be okay.

Here is my config file for the record. May it help somebody and my future me. =)
