Converting MySQL from MyISAM to InnoDB and performance

Regarding the software, as far as I can tell many Bacula users have converted successfully, and I think a new install creates the tables with InnoDB now.

Also, shame on me for not saying this is Ubuntu Server 14.04 running MySQL 5.5.

So what's the desire to convert? I suggest slow query log before wasting the time, because you've got way more RAM than needed for the task. I'd also suggest looking up some things to tune MySQL, perhaps give it more memory, as much as you can in fact.

I was under the impression InnoDB would be faster for primarily writing scenarios, which this is (according to mysqltuner, 1% read vs. 99% write). I've also been looking around at tuning MySQL, but a lot of that is Inno-specific, I haven't come across nearly as much for MyISAM.
I do have a job running now with the slow queries...
