I jost got an email from Oracle. Does this mean that now Mysql is faster on windows than on Linux or just that Mysql on windows used to suck and now it doesnt????


Thee world’s most popular open source database just got better on Windows! MySQL 5.5 Release Candidate benchmarks recently presented at Oracle OpenWorld show the following impressive performance & scalability improvements on Windows:

* 1561% Performance Gains over MySQL 5.1 for Read/Write Operations
* 538% Performance Gains over MySQL 5.1 for Read Only Operations

That's for sure. For example creating & dropping a table took 4 seconds for me on windows, whereas on linux it was sub-second. I had to move my data dir to a solid state drive to make it tolerable.
and now it doesnt????
We'll have to see

I've been using windows for the last 18 years and I've been using Linux for the last 7 years - it's obvious for me: Windows sux, Linux rulz :)

You must have had something else wrong for that kind of slowdown. I don't use mysql much on windows, but I've usually had mysql on both windows and linux, and for me the response was similar from mysql on either windows or linux servers.
