I'd be curious what the specs of the hard drives are. Using the stock drives in the Mac means you are using a drive that's about average (2MB cache, 7200RPM). I would assume they are both ATA/IDE drives. But I would guess the bottleneck is the drive. Try running top when you are running your tests to see where the bottleneck is.

OSX is also a work in progress, I/O is a big area that Apple is improving on. I thought I remember reading that 10.2 was just reaching the throughput you would get in OS9.
I'd be curious what kind of numbers Panther shows. Once I get my xServe setup, just arrived, I'll try running some tests myself.

Hi everyone,

I recently ran the MySQL benchmark suite on a Dual 1 GHz G4 running Mac
OS X Server 10.2.8, and an 800 MHz Intel machine running SuSE Linux 8.0.
Both installations used the same my.cnf file.


The results are comparable in all benchmarks except one: the 'insert'.
In that one, the Mac is more than twice as slow. Below are the benchmark
results for both machines, and the my.cnf I used.


I was wondering if there is something I can do, configuration-wise, to
do something about those very slow 'inserts' (and 'updates') on the Mac?
