Awe I like the Event Scheduler :P That's one of my favorite MySQL 5.1 features. I know, I know, "it's called cron". Yes, I know that :) But if the task is database specific, it would make sense to use the event scheduler. Consider the case of a hot/cold cluster (ie DRBD). You cannot run the cron-jobs on the passive node. So you either need to disable cron, or push the scheduled tasks to your web-server or even your application.

*shrug* I dunno how much the event scheduler slows things down, but I definitely find it useful. Note that I would expect Drizzle to implement it (at least in the core) but just my $0.02 since you dissed it in your slides :)

Thanks for a good developer day... I had a good time and learned a lot too.
