You may have to add these steps as my.cnf is not included within Pecona releases (yet):

1. create /etc/my.cnf with the right values (https://tools.percona.com/wizard/)
2. rename /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile* files if you change innodb_log_file_size to a different file size than these files.Without the right file size, Pecona won't start. If Pecona can not find these fields, it creates it on its own. There may be problems with the caching system if you just change the files, I don't know more about that.
3. "/etc/init.d/mysql restart"

That helped :) I have 64 GB RAM for my community server. Pecona set the value to 54G but what do you think? Is it more useful to add cache to nginx or PHP? It's not my expertise field.
 
with outcommenting
PHP: 
#sql_mode  = STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY
its still slow :/
PHP: 
INSERT INTO xf_session_activity (user_id, unique_key, ip, controller_name, controller_action, view_state, params, view_date, robot_key) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ip = VALUES(ip), controller_name = VALUES(controller_name), controller_action = VALUES(controller_action), view_state = VALUES(view_state), params = VALUES(params), view_date = VALUES(view_date), robot_key = VALUES(robot_key)
Params: 117, 117, 1556707374, XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum, Index, valid, node_name=, 1376824387,
Run Time: 0.109770
 
Binary logging will slow things down slightly,

It can also be amplified by your filesystem type.
 
Outcommenting like this helped :)
PHP: 
# BINARY LOGGING #
#log_bin  = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin
#expire_logs_days  = 14
#sync_binlog  = 1
 
I cant remember the exact setting now, but if your OS filesystem is ACID complient, enabling strict synced logging takes a massive effect.
