OK folks, I'm kind of stumped; looking into things a bit more, but thought I'd hit the list and see if anyone had any suggestions for a rock to look under, in case I'm missing it...
DB Server: Windows 2003, 8-way CPU, lots of RAM, MySQL 4.1.22-nt binary from MySQL Current Production web server: Linux, RedHat 7.2, MySQL 5.0.51a client from MySQL Binary RPMs New Web Server: Linux, RedHat EL 4, MySQL 5.0.51a client from MySQL Binary RPMs The current production web server has a fairly high traffic load, but DB usage is extremely efficient, so there's not a significant load on the DB server. Connection times from the production web server are almost instantaneous (under 1 second), using the "press enter and observe" method, using the command-line interface. Connection times from the new web server box take between 4-6 seconds between the time you press enter and the time that you get the MySQL prompt. YSlow in Firefox confirms a consistent average of 4-6 seconds difference between the servers reflected in page load times. At this point, we're trying to see what it is going on between the client and the server; datacenter folks have assured us that it's not a networking issue (although I'm not sure that I'm convinced). We've ruled out any apache or PHP issues causing a problem, as the configurations and build options are identical. Any thoughts of a performance number or configuration option that would make any differences? Thanks much in advance - I'm scratching my head on this one... -Doug -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
