A question on MDX performance - http://www.dbms2.com/2009...
"Mondrian from Pentaho will “translate” your MDX queries to SQL. However, I am an academic, so I do not know whether you can actually use Pentaho Mondrian for production. (It is fine for my students though.)"

A question on MDX performance - http://www.dbms2.com/2009...
"I realize that the question is about benchmarking solutions supporting MDX. Nevertheless, there is a possible confusion. MDX is a language. If you have performance or scalability problems, they are probably not due to MDX. MDX has some limitations, and I suppose it is possible to hang yourself with it… but if you use it properly for the type of problems it was designed for, then MDX, in itself, has nothing to do with the performance of your OLAP system. All in all, I think it is an odd question."
