Hi Jeremy! Our tests get (or create) the em when we begin the measurement. This is done on all the frameworks and all the tests (selects, inserts, updates, deletes, etc.). We then remove the highest and lowest numbers from all the results and gather an average. Should this really be affected? I mean, wouldn't that be a problem on all the selects and not only the ManyToMany if that was the case?
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to give it a go, but I just want to make sure our scenario is understood. Also we are using MySQL 5.1. I've also tried to run the test on my local mysql installation and the results are similar, actually a bit slower..
