It sounds like you have specific performance problems you're trying to
address. Given the use case it seems surprising that you're looking at
such heavy-duty hardware. It seems more likely that
PokerTracker/Holdem Manager is missing some indexes in its schema or
that some queries could be tweaked to run more efficiently.

Perhaps if you set log_statement_duration and send any slow queries
here we would find a problem that could be fixed.
