"In an interview, MacAskill said MySQL has performance and concurrency 
issues when it's paired with InnoDB, the most widely used storage engine 
for the database. In particular, the problems affect systems with 
multicore processors. "That's turning out to be a pretty major 
scalability roadblock for a lot of us," he said. 

Google Inc. and other MySQL users have created patches designed to fix 
the performance problems. But MacAskill said that the open-source vendor 
has yet to add the patches to the database, despite requests that it do 
so from him and other users. 

"I often wonder why they haven't been accepted and just pushed into the 
MySQL release," he said"

That's why.

"MySQL officials said the patch question is now Sun's to answer - even 
though the acquisition isn't expected to be completed until late this 
quarter or early in the second quarter. Sun couldn't immediately be 
reached for comment on the issue. "

Yeah, yeah.
