Hi, We are running some performances tests. With a lot of concurrent access, queries get very slow. When there is no load, those queries run fast.
As others said, you need to stat how many concurrent clients are working on the database and also the number of logical CPUs (CPU cores, hyperthreading) are present in the machine. So far, as a rule of thumb, if you have more concurrent active connections (i.e. doing queries, not idling), you will experience a sharp decline in performance if this number exceeds the number of logical CPUs in the machine.
