The short of it is that cheap motherboards tend to provide cheap clock hardware that takes about a microsecond to read.
I'm not sure how gettimeofday() works, but is there a slight chance this could be alleviated by choosing a different kern.timecounter.hardware option?
kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(800) HPET(900) ACPI-fast(1000) i8254(0) dummy(-1000000)
kern.timecounter.hardware: ACPI-fast Or does the kernel timer stuff have nothing to do with gettimeofday()? Regards, Mark -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
