The default mysql config has very poor performance for innodb (you need at least innodb_thread_concurrency = 0 to disable some
mysql brain-death). Maybe tuning is required for myisam also.
* Also make sure you are using identical config settings on the two systems.
http://phoemix.harmless.hu/mysql/ verify yourself. Only the paths are
updated, but the main parameters are just the same.
You are not in fact using the same config parameters as I am. When I use your config file I see a large performance loss when I run
locally even with innodb.
So, the updated config is here:
http://phoemix.harmless.hu/mysql/my.cnf.kris
I've migrated the values from your config.
And the plot is here:
http://phoemix.harmless.hu/mysql/rw-kris.png
I"ve also plotted a current production system, which crashes around 96 threads
in
the test, or so. That's a Linux-2.6.12 and MySQL 5.0.22, so it should be quite
unoptimized
compared to any recent version of anything.
As it seems, you were right. These adjustments made a very slight performance
boost, around
5%. But it's still lagging behind.
Again, this is MyISAM, not innodb. The "tc4" and "tc16" strings mean the
thread_concurrency
is either set to 4 or 16. Your config had 16, but I've googled for it, and some
resources
suggested setting that to CPUs*2, and that's 4 in my case.
I've updated the MySQL version on FreeBSD to 5.0.51, and will try to get this
version
on linux also, and do a comparision with that one, too.

OK. The caching problem with myisam is unrelated to the other config changes
then.
I have to finish my test, sorry for not being able to give more results.
The boss decided to put back this box to the serverfarm, and since we're
not using FreeBSD, just I'm a bsd-guy, I won't be able to do anything farther
on on this topic.
I hope I did something useful with this tests of my at all.
And thank you all for helping with all the ideas, especially to
you, Kris.
Thanks for bringing it up. If anyone else is interested it would be
good to figure out if there is a way to improve the myisam caching
behaviour. It is likely that performance will also improve once the
lockmgr changes are completed.
Kris
