In fact this type of result is not surprising at all, it has already been found by mysql specialists benchmarking Linux and FreeBSD here: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/06/15/freebsd-tests/ Of course one needs to look the results *after* the sentence: " I'm not big expert in FreeBSD and did not saw http://wikitest.freebsd.org/MySQL before. This page recommends to use libthr instead of libthreads. The results with libthr looks better: " which show that, on a dual core athlon, Linux and FreeBSD are basically equivalent. The real FreeBSD problem is that people say that it does not scale well on more than 4 processors. But, obviously things are becoming better and better, and machines with many processors are still not very common. It has taken a lot of time until Solaris has been optimized to not be a mollasse, and similarly Linux has taken some time before scaling well. -- Michel TALON _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
