I realize every additional variation increases the testing load, but I'd 
be interested in seeing linuxthreads performance on 5.x/6.x also.  While 
we've worked hard to improve native threading, linuxthreading remains 
fully functional, and given that MySQL may well be being optimized based 
on assumptions regarding the Linux threading model, it could well be 
linuxthreads comes in ahead on recent versions.

You probably did this in a prior e-mail but I may have missed it -- could 
you forward me a copy of the 6.x kernel dmesg via private e-mail?

Thanks,
