As for the "processes" you see on Linux, in a nutshell Linux used threads and other Unix uses processes. That's one of the fundamental differences between Linux and other Unix flavors. Your actually seeing threads. Threads don't have the launch overhead that a process does so you should get better performance with threads.

I have noticed that on linux the mysqld runs as many processes and on
MacOS 10.2 it runs as a single process. Is this an architectural decision?
or have i configured the server incorrectly?
Thank you,

No, actually, it always runs as a single process. What you're seeing is that ps reports separate threads as processes on Linux.
