Hi Tom, it was not willing :-) it just stayed so after various probes with a query plan. Anyway, on 8.4 the default target is 100, an just by move it to 5 I reached on 16cores 10.500 TPS instead of 8.000 initially. And I think you have a good reason to keep it equal to 100 by default, isn't it? ;-) And what about scalability on 32cores?.. Any idea?
