Any chance of publishing your benchmark code so others can do testing? It sounds like a useful, well-thought-out benchmark (even if it is rather specialized). Also, I think it's important for you to track how long it takes to respond to requests, both average and maximum. In a web application no one's going to care if you're doing 1000TPS if it means that every time you click on something it takes 15 seconds to get the next page back. With network round-trip times and what-not considered I'd say you don't want it to take any more than 200-500ms between when a request hits a webserver and when the last bit of data has gone back to the client. I'm guessing that there's about 600MB of memory available for disk caching? (Well, 600MB minus whatever shared_buffers is set to). -- Jim Nasby [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
