Description:
Greetings,

I've been seeing consistently bad read performance from MySQL on Mac OS X 
machines as compared to less powerful Intel counterparts....my Pentium M 1.5 
Ghz laptop rountinely outperforms a 1.8 GHz G5 desktop computer, when the 
desktop is more powerful, has a faster disk, etc etc.    The difference is sufficiently
great that I only develop on OS X, I can't run mysql on the production OS X boxes,
which is a royal pain.  Any ideas on why this gap in performance should be so
pronounced?

How to repeat:

Run MySQL on OS X.  Observe slowness.

THis problem sounds like an optimizing and tuening question, and I strongly suggest you hire MySQL Support.  Our Support Engineers will for sure guide you through the process of having MySQL behave top notch in production environment.
