Uh, you're running an amd64 build on top of an Intel CPU? I didn't think
FBSD would allow that, but if it does it wouldn't surprise me if
kernel/OS performance stunk. If Postgres then used the same settings it
would make matters even worse (IIRC there is some code that's different
in an AMD vs Intel build).
Uh? Amd64 just the name of the FreeBSD port for AMD/Intel 64 bit CPUs.
See: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html
