It isn't only Postgres. I work on a number of other server applications that also run much faster on Opterons than the published benchmark figures would suggest they should. They're all compiled with gcc4, so possibly there's a compiler issue. I don't run Windows on any of our Opteron boxes so I can't easily compare using the MS compiler. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
