Hi,
 
This is a follow up of mails sent to this mailing list last month.
We were benchmarking several db access methods and comparing them with postgres.
Lots of people advised us to try pg 7.1 instead of pg 6.5.3
 
This turns out to be good advice as regards performance. (We would like to implement one application before commenting on stability)
We ran the same benchmark as last time. Benchmark is some configurable number of selects on a composite primary key.
The results are
number of selects: 1000000
postgres
4605 wallclock secs (858.69 usr + 115.92 sys = 974.61 CPU)
pg 7.1
3297 wallclock secs (835.19 usr + 96.86 sys = 932.05 CPU)
mldbm
1286 wallclock secs (1111.71 usr + 161.86 sys = 1273.57 CPU)
As you can see pg 7.1 is 30% faster than pg 6.5.3 and 3 times slower than MLDBM.
If people are interested in the benchmark script itself, please write to us.
 
Thanks and Regards,
 
Murali & S Muthu Ganesh
