Database Performance

We will run the standard sql-bench suite included with MySQL 4.0.20d installed from YAST.

Wallclock seconds; less are better.

MySQL 4.0.20d - Test-Select


MySQL 4.0.20d - Test-Insert


Although there are some minor differences between the NVIDIA and VIA motherboards, we only saw about a 2% difference. When re-running the tests, we found that the test results would vary approximately 1%.

    Wacky javascript links? Javascript is a standard, and with the popup manager in firefox/mozilla I don't see the issue. Enable popups for the site and your done.

    Eh, I'm writing this in Firefox :)

    Anyway, nice results. Looks like 64-bit support in applications is what it will take for A64 to battle P4 on it's remaining home turf (encoding). Then again, it'd be interesting to see these benchmarks include Nocona.

    I find it annoying that I can never seem to get this comments page to loads in Mozilla Firefox, the Linux browser of choice.

    If you're going to write articles about Linux, at least design your site in such a way that it doesn't use wacky javascript popups.

    Personally, I think you should just make it a normal web link and be done with it.
