MySQL and FreeBSD native threads

[Justin Bastedo]

I've been using MySQL 5 now for about 6 months in a productin
environment and haven't had any problems. Our co-located master server
replicates to an inhouse slave. and neither has given us any problems.

Uptime: 6355651 Threads: 2 Questions: 143125480 Slow queries: 0 Opens:
0 Flush tables: 2 Open tables: 55 Queries per second avg: 22.519

>uptime
 5:42PM  up 129 days,  4:17, 1 user, load averages: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00

seeing a mild load, nothing too heavy, and mainly inserts and selects
and has been really stable.
