Greetings: I have been gifted a Sun T2000 from my employer as a hand-me-down piece of hardware. I have had plenty of experience using it as a Solaris 10 box, and we generally ran Oracle and our in-house products on the hardware with good results.
After getting the hardware, without a Sun contract I went with Debian, which was fine as my expertise/background is more heavily Linux than Solaris anyways. After a lot of tinkering I got the system as I liked it, prepared to host several LXC containers, separated as database and web servers for a project for my friend's gaming website. All went well, until I started working with MySQL. I started noticing significant differences in performance, and, I went down the rabbit hole to find plenty of articles talking about how MySQL doesn't run well on The T2000's due to single threadedness sort of reasons. I've done a good amount of fine tuning of the database, but I'm finding any query of complexity taking sometimes as much as 30x longer to execute than on same-era x86 hardware running Debian. I am really just trying to figure out if I'm wasting my time by trying to 'fix' this, or if its a reality of the hardware platform. Even simple 'select BENCHMARK' queries are returning back after 25-30 seconds, whereas on the x86 box it comes back in 1-2 seconds. Is MySQL on this hardware platform a lost cause, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance!
