Right now I am running mysql on couple dual processor sparc ultra-80s.
Since mysql is using solaris threads the mysql daemon is running
in a single process with lightweight threads for each connection.
So mysql can only run on one of the processors.
Is it advisable to try to compile mysql using pthreads in order
that mysql will use heavyweight threads and therefore be able to
take advantage of the second processor?
Or is it possible that the combination of solaris threads being
quicker than pthreads and the reduced amount of context switches
when mysql is running on its 'own' processor makes it faster than
if I were to get mysql running on both processors?
Or maybe I am even wrong about using pthreads being the method to
have mysql take advantage of both processors?
