MySql and timekeeping?

[Christopher Arnold]

Hi all,

some time ago there was some discussions regarding MySql and timekeeping.

There was some ideas of using lower resolution when doing timekeeping to 
keep the timekeeping cost down. Has anything been done in this area?

Or should we stick to using Linux as our MySql platform?

While we are at it, have anyone done a recent comparison of the MySql 
performance under Linux and FreeBSD?
