Dear BSD, I like mySQL very much especially on unix machines, but i ran across some disturbing posts that it would run twice as slow on FreeBSD as on a Linux box? I searched and searched all searchengines but could nowhere find a (recent) comparison of mysql bench results on the same hardware and different platforms (FreeBSD, Linux, Win98 etc.) On mysql.com there's also a comparison but on very different hardware and it appears to be a very old document (1997?) http://www.mysql.com/information/benchmark-results/result-mysql-platform-relative.html ------------------------------------ can you shed some light here? ------------------------------------ Thanks for your time, Gerhard (tr909) sources: http://lists.omnipotent.net/mysql/199904/msg00143.html (1999) http://zappa.zeelandnet.nl/article.php?sid=14&mode=thread&order=0 (2001) (the latter one is recent (in Dutch) but should pose no problem to read the specs) anwser by mysql: > We did recently setup a FreeBSD box here at MySQL; I will try to run > some benchmarks on it this weekend to be able to give you some > numbers! > > At any rate, everything indicates that on a multi-cpu machine MySQL is > much faster on Linux than on FreeBSD. > > Regards, > Monty Can some of the list readers and BSD Guru's shed some light here or maybe even give some hints to boost performance? as a bit newbie i am, i like BSD a bit more for security reasons but if it is allmost twice or three-times as slow with MySQL databases....
