There are known performance problems with FreeBSD and MySQL which are 
being worked on (see the MySQL entry on wikitest.FreeBSD.org).  The 
default tuning does not work well for MySQL.  There may be other, underlying, 
problems having to do with MySQL assumptions that it is running Linux.

As one of the chief people who works on the incoming Problem Reports, I 
have to say that I'm disappointed in this attitude.  The majority of people 
who work on FreeBSD are volunteers and it is only by volunteer effort and 
community participation that FreeBSD advances. 

In any case this problem report is so non-specific that it's really not 
possible to take any direct action on it as an individual item.  I would 
rather keep the PR database just for the things that we can readily identify 
and fix.

Yet you are not too busy to take for free work that others have done
as volunteers - in addition to their regular paying jobs.    If you
can't even bother to submit useful information, please don't waste
the time of the people who are actually doing the work.
