Performance is a pretty weak reason to upgrade, unless of course you have a performance problem. The one thing that will really push me to upgrade is bug fixes to stuff that I use where the risk of exposure to the bug outweighs the risk and cost of upgrade. Andrew P.S. I know this is kinda trollish, but I don't understand the interest in MySQL as a load, particularly when there are more interesting loads such as PostgreSQL out there. Would you guys mind graphing the relative performance of PostgreSQL on 6.2-RELEASE and your patched version please?
