This is the first I've heard of this, but that doesn't mean you're
wrong.

This would be interesting to know, doubtless, but please note that
MySQL 4.0 is either no longer supported or will reach that status in
the immediate future.  It would be more interesting to see what the
performance difference is between Linux and FreeBSD with MySQL 5.0,
which has just been released.

If you find reasons to believe that any problems you're seeing are a
MySQL problem, please let me know.
