i don't know if this is any idea - but why isnt something like linuxthreads ported to amd64? i would think with the 64-bit architecture, it could be even better than the i386 version. again, i am threading-retarded, so if getting linuxthreads working on freebsd 5.x on AMD64 is "not appropriate" because freebsd 5.x is supposed to have it's own better threading library now, then just ignore me; but it seems like linuxthreads has always been the fastest implementation on freebsd. i'd be willing to put $$ towards accelerating the effort to get mysql performance on freebsd 5.x AMD64 better. i don't know what the best setup is, but whatever needs to be done and a way to patch/reproduce it. i know that JG is interested in this [VERY MUCH], i am interested in this, and i believe i've seen another few posts of other people trying to figure this out as well... thanks, mike On Thu, 20 May 2004, Steven Hartland wrote: > Great minds... :) > If you've gone to the trouble of installing i386 I wouldn't limit your tests to > just WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes, but also try pthreads as well it could be > an AMD64 specific issue with pthreads implementation but I doubt it. > > Steve > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "JG" <amd64list > > > Yeah I was thinking about this last night. > > > > What a shame that would be though huh? > > > > I'll give it a try a bit later and post the results. > > > ================================================ > This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
