So, the updated config is here:
http://phoemix.harmless.hu/mysql/my.cnf.kris

I've migrated the values from your config.

And the plot is here:
http://phoemix.harmless.hu/mysql/rw-kris.png

I"ve also plotted a current production system, which crashes around 96 thre=
ads in
the test, or so. That's a Linux-2.6.12 and MySQL 5.0.22, so it should be qu=
ite unoptimized
compared to any recent version of anything.

As it seems, you were right. These adjustments made a very slight performan=
ce boost, around
5%. But it's still lagging behind.

Again, this is MyISAM, not innodb. The "tc4" and "tc16" strings mean the th=
read_concurrency
is either set to 4 or 16. Your config had 16, but I've googled for it, and =
some resources
suggested setting that to CPUs*2, and that's 4 in my case.

I've updated the MySQL version on FreeBSD to 5.0.51, and will try to get th=
is version
on linux also, and do a comparision with that one, too.

Sincerely,
