We have a rather long discussion brewing over at the freebsd-amd64 mailing list: Subj: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2004-May/001272.html>Why is MySQL nearly twice as fast on Linux/AMD64 Vs. FreeBSD/AMD64? @ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2004-May/thread.html Chris Elsworth also just posted a similar message on the MySQL general users list: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/165908 He is on i386 architecture, so this problem seems to be universal for FreeBSD. I have been benchmarking many different configurations for several days now, and MySQL under Linux consistently SIGNIFICANTLY outperforms FreeBSD on the same hardware. Most of the time handling twice as many queries or more. After reading the posts at the mailing lists mentioned above, Do you have any suggestions or ideas as to what the problem is? Thanks - Jeremy
