It's good, but if it's a multiprocessor machine, OpenBSD won't take
full advantage of the other processors with MySQL since MySQL is
multi-threaded. But it's stable, and runs reasonably fast (and you
are assured the system is more secure, being OpenBSD and all).
My only concern, then, is really if it's a multiprocessor machine, and
you need breakneck performance, you might want to consider running
MySQL on FreeBSD with linuxthreads.
And mine, is that if do need performance with mysql, you would want
Solaris lastest version. Its multithreaded support rocks the house.
Even FreeBSD isn't even close to Solaris. That's the experience i had,
of course.
