i too was "unlucky" until i read some posts on misc@ several months back. adding
_mysql:\
:datasize=1024M:\
:maxproc=4096:\
:openfiles-cur=2048:\
:openfiles-max=8192:\
:stacksize-cur=16M:\
:tc=default:
to /etc/login.conf to make a login class for mysql fixes the problem with mysql
having too many open files when you start the server with a command like
# Start MySQL server
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe ] ; then
su -c _mysql root -c '/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe
--log-error=/var/mysql/error.log &' > /dev/null
fi
in /etc/rc.local.

since i've made this change, mysql runs quite well. i can't speak for activity
levels like henning quotes here, but i haven't had any problems since i made
these aforementioned changes.
this info is in the misc@ archives if you care to search for it.
