It is not optimized. It is optimizeable, not the same thing. However, you need to know exacly what are the compiler flags to optimize it. If you run on x86, you are better of with the binary or the .rpm. No offense, but people who compile at mysql are a lot better than you and me to get the best flags. hth Ugo > > Is binary distribution is also optimized or it makes no difference?
