I get the following on dual Athlon MP 1666MHz 1GB RAM which is 40% cpu loaded
mysql> SELECT BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye")); +----------------------------------------------+ | BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye")) | +----------------------------------------------+ | 0 | +----------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.64 sec) This result doesn't take into account disk speed I/O etc - so this test will only be relevent for cpu speed. However, If you're worried about performance and want to speed it up a bit, use abbreviated english in your queries like this: mysql> SELECT BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hi","bye")); +---------------------------------------+ | BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hi","bye")) | +---------------------------------------+ | 0 | +---------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.32 sec) Only kidding about the abbreviations ;) Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Jake Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday 23 July 2003 15:34 To: Mysql Subject: What is a good benchmark? I ran this benchmark on my pIII 500 and was wondering what everyone else was getting? mysql> SELECT BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye")); +----------------------------------------------+ | BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye")) | +----------------------------------------------+ | 0 | +----------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (2.59 sec) Regards, Jake Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Plutoid - http://www.plutoid.com - Shop Plutoid for the best prices on Rims, Car Audio, and Performance Parts. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
