While reading The Design and Implementation of FreeBSD I came across the section on thread scheduling. At the present time I am only testing FreeBSD on a single processor system, but will be moving to an SMP once I complete building it. Now it says that since FreeBSD 5.0 the /sys/kern/sched_ule.c along with the historic 4.4BSD scheduler is available to be used at the time the kernel is built.
My question is, will I notice any performance improvement by using the new scheduler opposed to the 4.4BSD scheduler on an SMP system and can the new scheduler be utilized on a single processor system? The intended use of the SMP system is for MySQL databases only. Note: I'm far from a C or kernel guru so if anyone replies please respond in a manner a noobie to C would understand.
