Hello List, I've got a system on a customers location which has a XEON E5504 @ 2.00GHz Processor (HP Proliant)
It's postgres 8.4 on a Debian Squeeze System running with 8GB of ram: The Postgres Performance on this system measured with pgbench is very poor: transaction type: TPC-B (sort of) scaling factor: 1 query mode: simple number of clients: 40 number of transactions per client: 100 number of transactions actually processed: 4000/4000 tps = 158.283272 (including connections establishing) tps = 158.788545 (excluding connections establishing) The same database on a Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 8 cores with 8GB RAM same distro and Postgresql Version is much faster: transaction type: TPC-B (sort of) scaling factor: 1 query mode: simple number of clients: 40 number of transactions per client: 100 number of transactions actually processed: 4000/4000 tps = 1040.534002 (including connections establishing) tps = 1065.215134 (excluding connections establishing) Even optimizing the postgresql.conf values doesn't change a lot on the tps values. (less than 10%) Tried Postgresql 9.1 on the Proliant: transaction type: TPC-B (sort of) scaling factor: 1 query mode: simple number of clients: 40 number of threads: 1 number of transactions per client: 100 number of transactions actually processed: 4000/4000 tps = 53.114978 (including connections establishing) tps = 53.198667 (excluding connections establishing) Next was to compare the diskperformance which was much better on the XEON than on the Intel i7. Any idea where to search for the bottleneck? best regards, Felix Schubert -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
