Nothing worse than misleading stats, so I suspect it lost a lot of friends back then. It is a lot better these days when most of the "Unix" software targets Linux first, and other kernels second. Aside from all the advice here about system tuning, as a system admin I'd also ask is the box doing the job you need? And are you looking at the Postgres log (with logging of slow queries) to see that queries perform in a sensible time? I'd assume with the current performance figure there is an issue somewhere, but I've been to places where it was as simple as adding one index, or even modifying an index so it does what the application developer intended instead of what they ask for ;) -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
