However, if the server is a dedicated MySQL server, the threshold could be increased to 90 or 95% of system memory. For servers running web applications that use a lot of memory, like Java or Ruby on Rails, the threshold may need to be lowered to allow for better stability of the whole system.

I modified the script to skip suggesting turning on concurrent inserts for SMP systems. Also I added a check to determine whether the innodb buffer and the innodb aditional memory pool ((nnodb buffer / 20) + whatever to get divisible by 16).I am curious why the 85% threshold for MySQL memory usage?
