Kevin,

Specific to Java, the synchronization has been loosened up quite a bit
(with careful analysis, so no, it's not dangerous), to prevent deadlocks
when using pool managers such as C3P0. We also removed a static
synchronization bottleneck when using multibyte character sets, which
showed up under high load.

5.0 also contains the performance feature that will rewrite
[Prepared]Statement.executeBatch() into either multi-valued inserts or
batched statements to save round-trips, by adding
"rewriteBatchedStatements=true" to your JDBC URL configuration.

Yes, partitioning is an interesting feature for a lot of folks that have
large data sets that need to get pruned by age, and such.
