You are right Christopher.
Okay. Let's solve this matter.
What PostgreSQL benchmark software should I use???
I'll test PostgreSQL 8.1 on a Fedora Core 6 and on a Gentoo. I'll get
the same version FC6 uses and install it at my Gentoo. I'll use the
same hardware (diferent partitions to each).
I'm not saying that Gentoo is faster than FC6. I just want to prove
that if you compile your software to make better use of your
processor, it will run faster.
It might take a few days because I'm pretty busy right now at my job.
Best regards,
Daniel

No, the point of performance analysis is that you *can't* trust the
people that say "trust me on this one."
If you haven't got a benchmark where you can demonstrate a material
and repeatable difference, then you're just some Gentoo "speed racer"
making things up.

One last point about metaphor, poetry, etc. As an example to
illustrate these capabilities in Sastric Sanskrit, consider the
"bahuvrihi" construct (literally "man with a lot of rice") which is
used currently in linguistics to describe references outside of
compounds.
