I tried Linux and it works much better than old (2 x dual-core) backends. It
handles 2 times more requests than FreeBSD on the old backends. So there's a
real scalability problem in FreeBSD. The more processors it have the more
CPU time it consumes.
Also I faced the same problem moving heavily loaded MySQL-server to new
hardware. That time I thought that the problem is in the mysql-server itself
and I had to install Linux.
See in attach: mutex statistics for quad-core system and dmesg and vmstat
for dual- and quad-core systems.
What can I do to make FreeBSD run faster on many-CPU systems???
Have you configured libmap.conf to force MySQL to use libthr instead of
libpthread? libpthread is known to have serious performance bottlenecks for
MySQL as compared to libthr.
FreeBSD 7 contains significant optimization for increased numbers of cores,
and is where a lot of the work optimizing MySQL has ended up. I see you're
trying out a 6.3 beta, any chance you could try out a 7.0 beta instead?
Also, consider switching to "options SCHED_ULE" in the 7.0 kernel rather than
"options SCHED_4BSD".
