Like migrate all your postgresql databases to one T2000. You might see that your average response time may not be faster but it can handle probably all your databases migrated to one T2000.In essence, your single thread performance will not speed up on Sun Fire T2000 but you can certainly use it to replace all your individual postgresql servers in your organization or see higher scalability in terms of number of users handled with 1 server with Sun Fire T2000.
How good is a pgbench test for evaluating things like this? I have used it to compare several machines, operating systems and PostgreSQL versions - but it was more or less just out of curiosity. The real evaluation was made with "real life tests" - mostly scripts which also tested the application server itself.
But as it was it's easy to compare several machines with pgbench, I just did the tests and they were interesting and reflected the real world not as bad as I had thought from a "benchmark".
So, personally I'm interested in a simple pgbench test - perhaps with some more ( > 50) clients simulated ...
