I know Pete but I downgrad because when installing 6.0 performance was half
than with 4.11.
I done tests and tests but still have very low perfs. I then downdgrad to
4.11 to see if it came from hardware or software.
Conclusion is that my test wich is consist of loop of mysql query done by a
php script take :
- 32 sec with 4.11 without SMP
- 54 sec with 4.11 with SMP
- 62 sec with 6.0 or 6.1 beta 4
That's why actually I'm with 4.11.
If you have any idea how improve perfs with 6.0 it will be a pleasure.
Hardware is new dell 1850 with bi-xeon dualcore 2.8Ghz and scsi 15.000t HDD
on raid1 perc4si 256Mo controller.
Eric.
