    Hello,

    I use MySQL on several machines running freeBSD, and I was quite
    surprised to read this :
            http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html
            (and http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html)

    here is the summary of the article :

            MySQL now runs very well on FreeBSD. I'm no longer steering people
            toward Linux. There are two important things you should do to make
            the FreeBSD/MySQL combo work well: (1) build MySQL with LinuxThreads
            rather than FreeBSD's native threads, and (2) use MySQL 4.x or newer.
            For more details, keep reading.

    Is this guy more or less wrong in his explanations about threads ? (I
    was said so)
    As I know nothing about threads, but I noticed a similar behavior on
    MacOSX, and MySQL performances are as bad on FreeBSD as on MacOSX,
    compared to linux.

    any explanation/confirmation/correction greatly appreciated.
