Re: PHP & MySQL updates

["Dana M. Diederich" <dana@realms.org>]

I've been running 3.22.x mysqld at work for about two weeks, in a production
environment.  It's very stable, and it scales under load better than 3.21.  
3.21 would get bogged down and slow down under excessive load.  3.22 handles 
that much better, and it doesn't appear to leak.  Process size hasn't changed.

Cheers.
