Thanks very much for this!

Can we possible see a dmesg output as well, just for completeness?

Here you go:

There are a couple of things you could try to increase performance -
they're probably all documented on the mysql tuning page. One thing
you could do would be to set:

kern.timecounter.choice=TSC
kern.timecounter.smp_tsc=1

which is usually an optimization on the machines where the hardware
supports it.

I'd be interested in measuring and optimizing for this workload but I
have no idea how to set it up (my time is also limited for the next
few weeks). If you're interested in e.g. giving me access to your
test setup then we could try to work something out.
