Yes, initially mysql performed quite poorly, but was sTill better than
being single threaded.  Just no where near the scale out you would
expect.  MariaDB improved on that a lot.  

Same goes for Apache.  Just look at all the threading models Apache
supports, each with strengths and weaknesses.  Clearly strong
differences of opinion amoung the developers,
