benchmarks/sysbench 0.4.8p17 OpenBSD

SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a database under intensive load.

The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or even without installing a database at all.

Current features allow to test the following system parameters:

\* file I/O performance
\* scheduler performance
\* memory allocation and transfer speed
\* POSIX threads implementation performance
\* database server performance (OLTP benchmark)

Primarily written for MySQL server benchmarking, SysBench will be further extended to support multiple database backends, distributed benchmarks and third-party plug-in modules.
