That most users complaining of poor MySQL performance don't have HTT
enabled CPU's would seem to suggest this isn't the issue, although I
don't doubt FreeBSD HTT support is somewhat suboptimal at this point.

I suspect MySQL's issues are more a factor of kernel locks than
threading, tbh.  Time to catch up on freebsd-smp :)
