Re: MySQL on Windows compared to MySQL on Linux

[Rein van der Mast]

So, about 10% slower on Windows - that's enough for me to know right now, thanks.

I guess stability is more or less the same. At least the applications of MySQL that I have made on Windows have shown to be very stable.

The only thing left is (disk) cache management. I am not that experienced when it comes to Linux (that is one of my arguments for using Windows instead). For windows there is something like SpeedDisk where a disk is read into the RAM for reading (most of my tables are 90% about SELECT queries) and writes are done to both RAM and disk.
