There are known performance problems with FreeBSD and MySQL which are
being worked on (see the MySQL entry on wikitest.FreeBSD.org).  The
default tuning does not work well for MySQL.  There may be other, underlying,
problems having to do with MySQL assumptions that it is running Linux.

As one of the chief people who works on the incoming Problem Reports, I
have to say that I'm disappointed in this attitude.  The majority of people
who work on FreeBSD are volunteers and it is only by volunteer effort and
community participation that FreeBSD advances.

In any case this problem report is so non-specific that it's really not
possible to take any direct action on it as an individual item.  I would
rather keep the PR database just for the things that we can readily identify
and fix.
