it is highly unlikely that you will have to worry. given the usual 
fiddling with the config file you need to do to get mysql be a bit less 
sluggis under load, you can do very very very high query rates and 
stuff. there is a load pattern at extremely high load where our thread 
model doesn't work all that well for mysql; bets are you will not hit 
it.
