I'd be interested in the commit_siblings and commit_delay settings, tuning them could give a high increase on throughput for highly concurrent insert/update workloads, at the cost of latency (and thus worse results for low concurrency situations). Different fsync method settings can also make a difference (I presume that syncing was enabled). HTH, Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
