MySQL depends on a good pthreads implementation. Currently we're using an old snap of -current, for both SMP and pthreads (which I don't believe were in 2.2 at the time). We're running into alot of problems with the server hanging or just giving really poor performance. We are talking to the author of mysql about getting commercial support, but he's not terribly keen on FBSD; he seems to like Linux and Solaris... :( Any recommendations on what to do to get the best performance here? I'd give up a CPU if I could get more stability and an easier target for Monty to troubleshoot on. Anyone else here use mysql? Any opinions? Should I try again with MIT-pthreads?
