Do you remember how to speed up your MySQL server using the Google Perftools? It seems that the amd64 flavour of these libraries makes MySQL crash.
I just bumped the version of the google-perftools packages for Lenny from 1.0 to 1.3. According to the Changelog they’re bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements, and then enhance the stability of the daemons they’re plugged in.
Upgrading is highly recommended.
Update : The packages are now available for Etch.
Update #2 : Please desactivate the Google Perftools 1.3! They’re crashing MySQL. I’m rolling back to the old version (Etch : 0.98, Lenny : 1.0) until I fix (or Google) fix this issue. Really sorry for the mess…
On May 1st, MySQL 5.0.81 has been published with a lot of bugfixes.
If you’re still using Etch, the corresponding packages are now available for i386 and amd64.
MySQL 5.4 has been announced at the opening session of MySQL Conference 2009 and a preview is available for download. This release may look as a compromise between the current 5.1 and the major 6.0 branches, but it includes many (IMHO needed) improvements :
The results? 59% faster than 5.1, 40% improvement in read/write test, 71% throughput increase!
For more info, read “A Quick Look at MySQL 5.4”.
