Hi! One of my associates here read a report somewhere that mysqld when compiled under OS X 10.3 was 40%+ more efficient due to improvements in the compilers and the way 10.3 work. Also 10.3 is a 64 Bit Operating System and it would be a major benefit to us to set some of the memory values in excess of 2MBytes on our 64 Bit G5 servers. Sadly my associate can't find the original report any longer, so I don't have the reference material or exact information.
MySQL themselves repeatedly says we are better off using MySQL compiled binaries than compiling our own. So then how can we take advantage of these OSX 10.3 compiler gains when MySQL is only offering 10.2 compiled versions on their web site. Which brings me to my questions... If the OSX 10.3 Compilers are so much more efficient and result in major performance gains how long will it be before MySQL starts providing a MySQL binary compiled for OSX 10.3? Along with regular 10.3 is it possible MySQL will offer Binaries for 10.3 64 bit for those people with G5 servers (and with Apple being a major sponsor of the forthcoming Users conference and making a big deal about the new G5 servers I would think they have a major interest in this issue too). In the absence of these apparently faster improved versions of MySQL if we did want to make our own binaries using 10.3 can some talk us Mac guys (who haven't had the long history of building our own binaries most of the Unix guys have) through the exact process of getting the source code and compiling it on our systems?
