Hi,

I’ve installed XtraDB Cluster however I didn’t enable galera features - I’m just running plain Percona Server with XtraDB.

Could you please advise if there is any performance hit or should I install Percona Server if I’m not planning to use galera at the moment?

Hi.

There should not be any noticeable overhead.
