OK. I doubt that it impacts the results of the particular test, but it is non-intuitive (in my mind at least)
Did you change anything else between 263 and 264? From the table it appears that you are changing vm parameters
as well as database configuration parameters between runs ?

Yes, those parameters are based on a series of test results here:

Run 264 provided the best results, so I'm trying to continue with the
database parameters used there.

I was just looking at the config parameters, and you have the shared buffers set to 60k, and the effective cache set to 1k ????

Curious. The immediate question is "does it ever flatten out, and
if so at what TPM rate compared to 8.0.1?" Could you run the same
test for a longer duration?




The comparison was against 8.0.1, or did you mean 8.0.1 with the 2Q
patch? I can run a longer duration and see how it looks.




My point was that unpatched 8.0.1 seems to have a pretty level TPM
rate. If the patched version levels out at something not far below
that, I'll be satisfied. If it continues to degrade then I won't be
satisfied ... but the test stops short of telling what will happen.
If you could run it for 2 hours then we'd probably know enough.




Ah, ok.  I've reapplied the 2Q patch to CVS from 20050301:
        http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/313/

I ran it for 3 hours, just in case, and the charts suggest it flattens
out after 2 hours.
