So, in other words, it's not really that interesting. :) How well a db runs with a single thread really doesn't mean a lot unless you're only using it for single user embedded or batch processing. I'd like to see a simple pgbench style (i.e. mixed reads and writes with transactions) benchmark with 5, 10, 50, 100 users, etc... That would tell you something interesting.

Notice how MySQL is a good 20-30% faster with one user? More importantly see what it does with many users, and how it behaves as the number of users increases. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
