Now that the goals of the SMPng project are complete, for the past
year or more several of us have been working hard on profiling FreeBSD
in various multiprocessor workloads, and looking for performance
bottlenecks to be optimized.

We have recently made significant progress on optimizing for MySQL
running on an 8-core amd64 system. The graph of results may be found
here:

I do *not* want to start a database war here, but I'm wondering if any
testing has been done with PostgreSQL? The reason I'm asking is that
there are some benchmarks that show MySQL falling off drastically with
increased concurrency:

It would be interesting to see how the changes you've made stack up
using PostgreSQL as the benchmark.

I've mentioned this a couple of times, but postgresql didn't scale
well [on freebsd at least] when I tried it last year. I hope to
revisit when I get time.
