FreeBSD MySQL still WAY slower than Linux

Hi Kris,

I've been working with Steve on this project.  We've been playing  
with various tuning factors, including kernel changes, different  
stripe sizes on the RAID, "my.cnf" tuning, libmap.conf, and although  
we can gain a bit here and there, we can't account for the doubling  
of performance with Gentoo.  Anyway, I've included the dmesg and  
kernel config.

The Gentoo install was pretty vanilla-flavoured, as neither Steve or  
I had installed Gentoo before, and both of us are pretty rusty on any  
form of Linux.

Incidentally, this does not seem to be I/O-bound.  The data is big  
enough to stay in the table cache anyway.

I just noticed these particular tests were done on FreeBSD without  
HTT, whereas the Gentoo test was.  However, I can tell you that in  
earlier runs, the difference between HTT and non-HTT on FreeBSD for  
this benchmark was negligible.

Regards,
Tom
