You ran several queries with multiple thread, fine, but they are all serialised over one connection, so you get all the overhead of locking and thread-creation, for no advantage... So that's the result expected. (So, yes forthe troll, it's an OS issue, threads creation are somewhat slow on FreeBSD :) -- Pooly Webzine Rock : http://www.w-fenec.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
