I don't think I can volunteer on this end as I am already actively volunteering for another open project. I was hoping someone could take up on this since one of the last threads mentionned we don't have something substantial to present for 7.5 if June 1 is dateline for code freeze. Pre-fork came to mind. :-)
As for proof of concept, I think pgpool from Tatsuo Ishii is a good indication that pre-fork works. I'll try to see if I can generate some benchmarks using pgpool on my Linux. PgPool is a server-side connection pool/load balancer/replicator that implements pre-fork but because it acts as a proxy there is 7% to 15% overhead according to his README file. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg44082.html --- Andrew Dunstan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > sdv mailer wrote: > > [snip] > > >Pre-fork will give MySQL one less argument to throw > at > >PostgreSQL. > > > >I think optimizing is this area will speed up the > >general case for everyone rather than optimizing a > >feature that affects 10% of the users.
