If your database uses the InnoDB storage engine, you may want to enable the "InnoDB Optimizations" option in your dashboard. This can help improve performance for InnoDB-based workloads.

For databases built on the MyISAM storage engine, turning on the "MyISAM Optimizations" option can also provide benefits.

If you are not sure which option is best for your setup, it is usually safe to enable both at first. Later, as you monitor your resource usage and performance, you can decide whether to disable one or both to conserve memory (RAM).
