I have been running MySQl-FreeBSD for over a year now and we are now doing
about 140-150,000 page views a day all dynamic from the database.
Running top displayed MySQL running about 40% but we kept getting bottle
necks and mysql would hang periodicaly.
What we have done is recompiled mysql with linuxthreads which made a
difference, but what made the biggest difference was upgrading to MySQL 4
and turning on query caching, that what I would recomend.
