Hi,
It seems that a COPY of 8M rows to a table to 8.4rc1 takes >30% longer
than it does to 8.3.7 on Solaris.
Here are the steps I've taken to reproduce this problem on two different
solaris boxes (Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u3wos_10 X86 and Solaris 10 8/07
s10x_u4wos_12b X86). I've tried this on a Linux box, and I do not see
the problem there.
tried that on my box (though I increased the testset size by 10x to get
more sensible runtimes) and I can reproduce that on Linux(CentoS
5.3/x86_64, Nehalem Xeon E5530) as well. I get ~450000 rows/s on 8.3 and
only ~330000/s on 8.4
on 8.4 I get:
