[Cialug] BSD

[Bryan Baker]

(jon sorry about the signing thing, it's been a bit wonky since I 
re-did them, please disregard)

THe main thing was default, built in Innodb support (3.2x it was an 
add-on) and one of the main performance upgrades we did was moved 
several of the more active tables over to Innodb format to avoid some 
serious locking based performance issues we had experienced. We could 
have done the same thing in place, even sticking w/ 3.2x but this 
allowed us to do a fairly clean cut over - get it all configured & 
working on new hardware, then migrate the data and cut over.
