RE: MySQL performance problem on MacOS X

["David Kazias" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is not related to what Anand thinks it was though.

People who actually know what's going on have placed the problem right at
the feet of the fact that under OS X MySQL defaults to performing a full
flush of the hard disk cache to ensure that a transaction has been written
to disk, whereas under Linux it doesn't.

Supposedly you can turn this off, but I've not bothered to look for how.
