Re: MyISAM key buffer cache emptying

Maybe FLUSH TABLES.
Maybe mysqldump -- or other dumping script.

MySQL will not flush the key_buffer other than as a result of something happening. (You already gave the example of 'restart'.)

Well, if it does not really cause a performance issue, then don't worry about it. Do you have any application metrics that show a problem during the time when the key_buffer is refilling?

Do you monitor the slowlog? That would tell you which queries are being hurt the most. (But you would need to correlate it with time of day.) It may turn out that adding an index or reworking a query could provide more performance improvement than you have lost via the key_buffer.
