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.

Sincerely,

OK. The caching problem with myisam is unrelated to the other config changes then.
