I'm just getting frustrated here... Is this a threads problem? Is this a kernel problem? Is this a MySQL problem? Or some combination of all three... or more. Does anyone even know what the problem is? Or care to find out? Because if you don't, then the answer is simple: - for standalone MySQL servers run your favorite flavor of Linux, because it seems that any of them, with out of the box OS & MySQL install will slam FreeBSD performance wise. I understand that FreeBSD's big thing is pushing stability vs performance as Peter said... but is that to say that there is no stability, or an unacceptable amount of stability with Linux? Because I'm sure many of the Fortune 500 companies that have opt'd for Linux would disagree. And there is a point where a certain amount of loss of performance for increased stability just isn't acceptable anyway. I love using FreeBSD, but this performance issue is really starting to frustrate me. I still need to put a page together with all the benchmark results. I'll try to do that tomorrow.
