> * fsync=off => 5,100 > * fsync=off and synchronous_commit=off => 5,500 Now, this *is* interesting ... why should synch_commit make a difference if fsync is off? Anyone have any ideas? > tmpfs, WAL on same tmpfs: > * Default config: 5,200 > * full_page_writes=off => 5,200 > * fsync=off => 5,250 > * synchronous_commit=off => 5,200 > * fsync=off and synchronous_commit=off => 5,450 > * fsync=off and full_page_writes=off => 5,250 > * fsync=off, synchronous_commit=off and full_page_writes=off => 5,500 So, in this test, it seems like having WAL on tmpfs doesn't make a significant difference for everything == off. I'll try running some tests on Amazon when I have a chance. It would be worthwhile to get figures without Python's "ceiling". -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
