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."

My system performance went way down

Use Postgresql

and then you aren't missing out on features.

MySQL has its place if you just want to do selects though I guess...

Other Benchmarking

[X43B]

Does anyone know of a nice computational/science benchmark that runs on Linux/Windows/BSD and is free?

Something along the lines of Linpack would be neat. Yes, I know hpl exist but there it isn't in the yum package list for Fedora Core 3 and I couldn't get all the dependcies worked out doing it separately (being a dumb engineer not a CS guru).

Results?

[Anonymous Coward]

Hey, call us back when he gets some results - as it is, it's an article stating that he's "going to" benchmark mysql on linux/solaris/netbsd/freebsd.
whooptie damn doo. :)

oh, and before the Mac weenies chime in..."what? He's not benchmarking OSX on the latest dual G5s? what a traveshamockery!"

Hilarious commentary from linux crowd on TFA

I love all the posts going at each other's throats over how optimized gentoo actually is--all posted anonymously, and each calling the other a fucktard.

comparing robbIE's PostBlock devise to...

[Anonymous Coward]

other forms of censorship/corepirate nazi bootlicking

we cannot see any remarkable difference.

from some other PostBlocked/censored posts:

it also helps to relieve artificially induced ADD, & is better than the superficial/censored spray on 'news' distributed buy the corepirate nazi death/debt machine to US.

whoreabully MiSguided censorship is no match for the creators, newclear power?

this stuff is unbreakable & wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions. /. posters take to the ether, etc...., to avoid being unheard of/deleted
Score: mynuts won, fauxking corepirate nazis' puppets on a string)

from yet another post aptly titled:

robbIE steps on /.'s pedigree with whoreabull MiSuse of the patentdead PostBlock censorship devise?

what some fools will do for a little more monIE?

lookout bullow.

unprecedented evile et AL, is about to take it in the .asp again? the daze of the phonIE bullonly greed/fear/ego based execrable, is WANing into coolapps/the abyss, as we fail to communicate affectionately.

all is not lost?

consult with/trust in yOUR creators, supplying more than enough of everything for everyone (without ANY distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), to facilitate the wildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate, since/until forever. see you there?

it's ok, we're willing to go the extra/last mile with/for you.

Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, anonymous comment posting has temporarily been disabled. You can still login to post. However, if bad posting continues from your IP or Subnet that privilege could be revoked as well. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner (for weeks/months in our case) or login (just makes robbIE turn on the PostBlock devise faster) and improve your posting . If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down (like with the georgewellian nazi bouNTy hunter scam?). If you think this is unfair, we don't care.

moreover:

Either your network or IP address has been banned from NewsForge

If you feel that this is unwarranted, feel free to include your IP address (put any # here) in the subject of an email to pudge@osdn.com, and we will examine why there is a ban.

As the saying goes, the only thing Microsoft could make that doesn't suck is a vacuum cleaner.

I've finally found the perfect girl,
I couldn't ask for more,
She's deaf and dumb and over-sexed,
And owns a liquor store.

Anyone heard of an abstract?

[tod_miller]

Abstract: In the next article, I'll present the results for all six operating systems.

Comment:

Or does that really negate the point of the meandering artcile? I mean, is it so damn hard to say, this article comapred blah foo schmoo and bar and found schmoo to kick ass, but also that foo was fairly good. It is a bad news article

What an annoying whoring article, it promises so much, a delivers so little, I hope thier advertising was worth it.

That is why I fucking hate bloggers who whore themselves out at the expense of my search result time. Whores!! :-) (yeah yeah, mod down for language, but it pisses me off!)
