this sounds like the migration to mariadb also repaired a broken index
automatically that went unnoticed for some time. 

I migrated all our catalog instances (six in all, the largest used to
have a 200GB catalog database with over a billion rows in the file
table) to MariaDB over the last year and it's been smooth sailing for
the most part. While performance was better, it certainly didn't
increase by 3 orders of magnitude. What also helped was migrating from
myisam to innodb in the process.
