I have. So far, I'd call it an upgrade, since most of my database retrieval calls have
been going a lot faster since I made the switch.
MariaDB gives a similar performance boost in my experience, but since I run a localhost
install on a XAMPP stack, it can be a real hassle making the switch from MySQL to
MariaDB.
However, moving up from your current MySQL to MySQL 5.6 shouldn't be an issue and you
should get a performance boost out of it.
I can't tell what this would me for a live site, but so far, it works well for me, and
you could probably drop in replace the newer version of MySQL over your older version with
little difficulty.

Hi,
Has anyone tested MediaWiki with MySQL 5.6.x? I'm aware that Wikimedia
now uses MariaDB, but I'm currently stuck with MySQL on Amazon RDS and
was wondering whether I should upgrade from 5.5.31 to 5.6.12.
