Hi Dan, Thanks for that information, does that mean (for us simple SQL guys) that even though I am running 5.0RC3 and can compile and install MySQL just fine (from ports or with my own script) it is using the threads library from 4-STABLE branch not the new threads?
Also does this have soemthing to do with the word GIANT0 that keeps appearing in the 'top' process list? <observations> I was hoping for great things from the 5.0, even with kernel profiling off (invariants?) the /usr/local/sql-bench runs slower on 5.0. It is not a show stopper, but it is noticable and measureable. I am going to continue to run 5.0 on my test servers with the hopes of great improvements. I guess it will be a few more months before trying in production to be able to see an improvement. I don't mind being an early adopter (with the problems that comes with it), but it will be good to see things works better. It does appear not to creash at all! (for me). <\observations> Guess it just a little early, (Darn)!
