I have some initial results using 8.0beta5 with our OLTP workload.
Off the bat I see about a 23% improvement in overall throughput. The
most significant thing I've noticed was in the oprofile report where
FunctionCall2 and hash_seq_search have moved down the profile a bit.
Also, I have libc with symbols now so we can see what it's doing with
in the oprofile output.
8.0beta5 results:
