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?
Back when I worked for MySQL we were experts at building x86 Linux binaries, were good with FreeBSD and Sparc Solaris, plowed our way through on Windows, and tried our luck with lots of struggle and varying degrees of success everywhere else. I would suspect things have not changed very much in the last 10 months.
So, if you have a "weird" system like OSX, do not be afraid to build your own binary on it.
