Well I would like to see a HOWTO or something about proper configuration
of MySQL for FreeBSD systems.=20

I have a quad opteron that I am currently struggling with using 6.0-RC1,
and I am staring at some of the benchmarks in this thread with disbelief
as I can only pull about 9K qps where others are getting 18-20K qps with
lesser hardware.=20

I may just not be very good at searching through list archives, but it's
difficult to find up to date information including suggested kernel
configurations, gotchas for high memory configurations, etc.
