Someone on another list was saying: "ou've got to remember that in a lot of scenerios, more processors can degrade preformance instead of enhancing it. 4 Dual processing machines always beats one 8-way machine as far as network services related things like File/Web/Print serving. 4-way machines can add benefit in fine-grain tightly coupled processes like a heavily threaded DB server (like Oracle). You start to loose I/O performance with most x86 architectures after 4-way." What do ya'll say to that? Does MySQL performance really go down with more processors? - ----------- filter bypass: query sql - -- - ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Clickpatrol.com Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8rJrCW3F87Q8SQQARAhBJAKDZxvdJEZNFMi/+iEmerwSD/VENcwCfUlpT 5FeCpR8noGhFV/sQ/isp5KU= =t1aj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
