Glad to hear it. But you might still want to consider a switch to
mantis/400 - or at least do some comparisons. Mantis uses a database
abstraction layer (PDO?) - so when you use MySQL you will be going though
that layer and then (effectively) an additional abstraction layer to store
in DB2. Although the DB2 storage engine performs well, it doesn't seem quite
a fast as using "native" MySQL with the default engine.
