Jestep,

Some benchmarks are here:

We plan to post more for MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1 as time goes along.

Regarding features - is not stability of the NEW features is exactly something you would like to expect from the new release. Why bother upgrading unless you plan to use new features or get performance improvements ? Mark,

It almost needed to hit production just to speed things up. Sun's stock crashing really concerns me to their future, especially if they ever got bought out by a company that doesn't want to deal with open source OS's and programs. The ridiculous process of getting 5.1 into general release makes me question how committed Sun is to the open source side of their business, and the fact that they released a buggy version doesn't help either. Anyway, I would really like to see performance comparisons to Percona or Google patched 5.0 builds. We've been waiting for 5.1 to come out, primarily for it's replication, but I don't actually plan on upgrading for at least 6 months or so.

It takes me much longer to run mysql-test-run in 5.1. Can someone optimize that? Otherwise, it is nice to see there are many more tests. Based on the list of 5.1 bugs it looks like 5.1 is in good shape. There are many issues for RBR and partitioning, but those are new features. I am trying to get my local 5.1 builds upgraded to 5.1.30 and InnoDB 1.0.2 plugin and PBXT 1.0.06 plugin so I can begin running this for long-term tests.
