Dmytro, Instructions for updating the ports tree are in the handbook on freebsd.org Please understand that the ports directory tree distributed with the RELEASE cd's is always out of date. I never install it when I install a RELEASE. I always use cvsup to download the current ports tree after installation. I just setup a P4 3.2Ghz system with a gig of ram and mirrored SATA drives, and I ran the mysql benchmarks on it, and they are quite a bit faster than any other systems I have. Please post mysql benchmarks on your system, or post any other benchmarks that you think are indicative of kernel slowness? I will run the same and we can compare to see if there's a difference.
