If your database uses the InnoDB storage engine, you can enable the "InnoDB Optimisations" option in your dashboard. This helps improve performance for InnoDB-based workloads.

For databases using the MyISAM storage engine, enabling the "MyISAM Optimisations" option can also provide benefits.

If you are unsure which option is best for your setup, it is generally safe to enable both initially. As you monitor your resource usage and performance, you can then decide whether to disable one or both to save memory (RAM).
