mysql performance test results under FreeBSD-7.0-CURRENT

[Darren Pilgrim]

The timing of this thread is fantastic, as I just happen to be getting to 
the point in my self-taught pseudo-recertiftication where I'm brushing up on 
the installation and tuning of MySQL and Postgres.  Installation was the 
easy part, but I've run into a bit of trouble finding really good references 
on tuning the MySQL server under FreeBSD.  Linux stuff is there, but many of 
the metrics and tunables used are Linux specific or, as is common to a lot 
of Linux How-to stuff, has giant gaping holes in them from my 
FreeBSD-centric point of view.  Any pointers (meaning URLs or books)?
