I swear I have seen a simple MySQL on Linux test command, possibly
included with MySQL distributions which just times the basic
operations, perhaps on a given database, gives you the amount of time
it took to run each type of command, like
-----------------------
|SELECT | 30ms |
----------------------
| INSERT | 300ms|
--------------------------
| DROP | 594ms|
----------------------------------
ALTER TABLE | 261ms |
------------------------------------

and so on and so on, I vaugley remember one of the tests being "big
insert" or "large select" something, but I just cannot fnid this
command or script anywhere!

I tried googling for two hours, all I find is creating test suites
using the benchmark suite and mysqlslap, I don't think it is either of
those.

I cannot find mysql-test or mysql-test-run.pl on my debian 3 system
running binary package MySQL 4,1, not sure if thats what they are
anyway as I can't find any examples of output from the command I saw,
I've lost the link.

Please, any help would be appreiciated.
