Hello,
>Updated patches addressing all those things are attached.
Below are some performance numbers using latest patch
20141219_fpw_compression_v9 . Compression looks promising with reduced
impact on CPU usage, tps and runtime.
pgbench command : pgbench -c 16 -j 16 -r -t 250000 -M prepared
To ensure that data is not highly compressible, empty filler columns were
altered using
alter table pgbench_accounts alter column filler type text using
gen_random_uuid()::text
checkpoint_segments = 1024
checkpoint_timeout = 5min
fsync = on
Compression On
Off
WAL generated 24558983188(~24.56 GB)

Runtime 5987.0 s

TPS tps = 668.05
tps = 686.69
Latency average 23.935 ms
23.211 ms
Latency stddev 80.619 ms

CPU usage(user) 916.64s

CPU usage(system) 54.96s
64.14s
IO(average writes to disk) 10.43 MB .
12.5 MB
IO(total writes to disk) 64268.94 MB
72920 MB
Reduction in WAL is around 32 %. Reduction in total IO writes to disk is
around 12%. Impact on runtime , tps and latency is very less.
CPU usage when compression is on is increased by 49% which is lesser as
compared to earlier measurements.
