That's not what we shipped in RHL 7.2 - that was 3.23.41-1 As for reasons for speed difference, it could be different kernels with different options (the new VM in 2.4.10 and up was very suspect for a long time, and still has some warts), different compilers (we have a mature, stable and well performing compiler in 2.96RH - 2.95 was a bad release, 3.0 still has some warts). Our optimized glibc could also make a difference if Suse doesn't have this. Different filesystems could also mean a difference. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
