Comparing MySQL Performance
An anonymous reader writes "With the introduction of the 2.6 Linux kernel, FreeBSD 5-STABLE, Solaris 10, and now NetBSD 2.0, you might be wondering which of them offers superior database performance.
These two articles will show you how to benchmark operating system performance using MySQL on these operating systems so you can find out for yourself if you're missing out. While this may not necessarily be indicative of overall system performance or overall database application performance, it will tell you specifically how well MySQL performs on your platform."
This article is kind of a let down. There's NO benchmark results!
From the article:
After having performed all of the tests and compiled the results, there were quite a few surprises that I think will challenge a few tightly-held assumptions in regards to which operating systems are fast and which aren't. In the next article, I'll present the results for all six operating systems.
"'Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.'
-- Dr. Spock, stardate 2822.3."
what the hell? first of all, the quotation is from yoda, from star wars . second, the character from star trek is named mr. spock; dr. spock was a noted pediatrician. thirdly, following on from the first two points, the "stardate" you have there is presumably just made up and meaningless. again, i ask: what the hell?
now, i figure nobody could be that wrong; i figure you must already know all this. but if so, what's the point? is it supposed to be funny? is it just a troll, to get people like me wondering what's the matter with you? what's the point? what the hell?
if i'm a grammar nazi, you're an illiteracy nazi.
And this is why Dragonfly advocates troll FreeBSD. Really, they're starting to sound like the Gentoo freaks of the BSD world. Everytime FreeBSD is mentioned some twit has to pop up with Dragonfly FUD.
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
