Linux machine was a default SuSE 8.0 installation. ext2 as the
filesystem? No idea about journaling. No SCSI or RAID, just an
internal IDE disk. Both machines are really consumer-level machines,
no heavy-duty server hardware.

I can't imagine a G4 would be disk bound relative to an Intel machine, unless
there is something very wrong with the disk or controller. Also, you might want
to defrag your disk on the Mac.
G4s have much more disk bandwidth than any Intel I've ever seen. Almost as much
as my DEC Alpha. :)

I believe that's what I was attempting to convey. My suggestion was that the
G4 should not be disk bound (limited by disk bandwidth). The CPU on my DEC
Alpha is a meagerly 300, but the disk can stream faster than my PIII true Intel
733MHz. That's why I suggested he look at the disk /

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?
Thanks in advance for any insight,
Did it appear to be disk or CPU bound?
Sorry, newbie here. I don't know how I can tell. The

I had similar issues, but I was also using a custom build of MySQL,

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
I'm not entirely sure what to do about the slow insert results, they
are the slowest part no matter how you configure it, it seems. I've
attached some benchmark results I ran on a dual 2GHz G5 for comparison.
Both MyISAM and InnoDB.
Here are the insert results though:
MyISAM:
insert: Total
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
FYI, I've found 'iostat' to be quite useful in monitoring the drive
transfer rates while benchmarking in OSX. Then again, in Panther all
you really need to do is pop open Activity Monitor (formerly Process
Viewer) which now has some nifty graphing for system status: cpu, disk,
ram activity and
