Dear users,
Does anybody know what are the plans,
for locking mechanism like GIANT-LOCK in
future 5.3 Releases? I have heard from many
people that this GIANT-Locking mechanism
is not the best thing to have! Some said
that it may be replaced. Some also said that
it won't.
1:) What are the plans about it?
2:) How does this affect performance?
3:) Which is version is best for an Opteron QUAD?
4.10 Release or > 5.X Release ???
Thanks in advance!
D.K.
