If you did this only once, the results are not really trustworthy;
you need to average several similar runs before you can have much
confidence. pgbench's inter-run variation is usually upwards of 10%,
so trying to draw conclusions about half-percentage-point differences
without averaging is a waste of time.
Also, if scaling factor < number of clients then what you're mostly
measuring is update-contention behavior. Try it with -s 10 and -c 5;
and don't forget to reinitialize the database for each run of tests
to be sure it's fair.
