MySQL performance problem on MacOS X

[Ex Machina <exmachina@xxxxxxxxx>]

I always had performance problem with MySQL on MacOS X under 
heavy load. I tweaked MySQL setting to death but never got it to handle 
the load of my TV Show viewers reaching on the website to win video 
games all at one. It was a few years ago...

Tenon tried helping me but did not succeed. Nobody on the list gave 
me any solution. I used a cache system as a temporary fix that lasted 
for years. I felt like an idiot, suspected an hardware problem and 
moved my site to another server with 1.5 gig of RAM... no changes. 

After searching the web for year for an explanation that nobody could 
give me, I finally know why :

That may be interesting for those of you planning to use Mac OS X 
for serving Apache + MySQL + PHP website, like I did. 

At least, now I know that I'm not stupid and it is was not an 
harware problem. 

Hope it helps, 

A+ Brice
