Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me out on the status of threads in -CURRENT? I am a bit
confused as to when to use the following:

1) pthreads
2) libc_r (reentrant-safe/thread-safe libc?)
3) MIT threads and other 3rd part threads

I need to make a fast, reliable database server (mySQL). I am currently
using 2.2.6-STABLE w/ MIT threads, but MIT threads do not support unix
sockets and are not native to the OS. But then again, I am a bit worried
about the current stability of threading on -CURRENT. I have seen several
complaints about missing functionality and possible bugs. 

Is there a noticable performance difference between mySQL on 2.2.6 and on
-CURRENT? If so,...

Does anyone have any experience / recommnedations for mySQL on -CURRENT?
Would these recommendations be altered by using an SMP kernel?

TIA,
Kevin

PS - Did the freebsd-databases mailing-list ever evolve?
