I tested a MySQL install on a Dell 6600. It's specs were 8 GB ram, 12 x 73 15k rpm drives (Ultra320) on a RAID5, 4 Xeon MP w/ 2 meg of cache, HT enabled so the OS saw 8 CPU's. Every time, a stock linux install (SuSE, CentOS, and Fedora) were always faster than FreeBSD stock, or custom kernel utilizing different options. I never could fully benchmark it running on Linux; as I never got the server to max out before my benchmarking machine maxed out. If your using 4.x, add these to your config file options MAXDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options DFLDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" I noticed a HUGE difference on FreeBSD with those added, but it still doesn't crank up there with Linux. Also, default linux install's do not make it use more ram. You still have to copy one of the my-xxx.cnf files over to /etc/my.cnf or /usr/local/etc/my.cnf MySQL is developed on Linux, and ported to FreeBSD. That's the best explanation you'll get probably. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-performance@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-performance@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Michael Vince Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 9:07 AM To: Steve Roome Cc: performance@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD MySQL still WAY slower than Linux Your posting a lot of configuration here except the most easily important one for performance in MySQL, thats your my.cnf configuration file You will more then double your performance if you just start off by copying /usr/local/share/mysql/my-large.cnf to /var/db/mysql MySQL out of the box setup to use a tiny amount of ram and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of Linux distributions have a much more high performance my.cnf file since most distributions are aimed at people who don't know what they are doing.
