Thats a strange thing to say, considering that a lot of effort is
going into improving FreeBSD's threading to the point where this not
an issue any more. MySQL's problems are supposed to be with libc_r
threading, not kse threading. MySQL performance on FreeBSD has
improved greatly over the past year.
The fact that postgres may be a better database doesn't explain why
mysql should run slower on freebsd. Are you confident that freebsd
offers good performance with postgres?
Anyway, if you compare solaris x86 to linux x86 it puts in a very
respectable showing there.
