    I realize every additional variation increases the testing load, but I'd
    be interested in seeing linuxthreads performance on 5.x/6.x also. While
    we've worked hard to improve native threading, linuxthreading remains
    fully functional, and given that MySQL may well be being optimized based
    on assumptions regarding the Linux threading model, it could well be
    linuxthreads comes in ahead on recent versions.

    You probably did this in a prior e-mail but I may have missed it -- could
    you forward me a copy of the 6.x kernel dmesg via private e-mail?

    Thanks,
