I've had great success running it on my 4-year old Mac laptop (using the latest OS), and the Xserve is quite a machine (see #3 at http://www.top500.org/list/2003/11/). I think you'll have to compile MySQL on the Xserve to take advantage of the 64-bit architecture. Then if you are saavy (which I'm not, but I know people who are) Apple has offered a suite of free profiling tools (Shark is a big one) that shows which routines use the most processor time, and will even show you the assembly code and when the processor stalls, why, and what you can do about it. Very slick.
