On my E420R with 4 x 450MHz and 4 gb mem what mysql variables should I need to
play with to improve the following output

mysql> SELECT BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye"));
+----------------------------------------------+
| BENCHMARK(1000000,ENCODE("hello","goodbye")) |
+----------------------------------------------+
|                                            0 |
+----------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (2.89 sec)

Sorry for newbie question
