Hi Steve, I will upload them in a minute and post the link. I was thinking I would also stream line my PHP files I use for running the benchmark(s) and include those. This way other people on the list can run the same test. It's not scientific perhaps, but at the end of the day, I want to know what my database server is able to achieve in the real world when it comes to stuff like inserts, updates, searches. I'll send another e-mail in a minute. Gotta finish lunch :) Ray _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
