Turns out the 40% was due to a configuration problem with my application. I'm now getting the same performance with community edition. It appears that I'm now CPU bound. My CPU's are all pegged. -- Les Walker -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Walker, James Les Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 3:14 PM To: 'Thomas Kellerer'; pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Tuning Postgres 9.1 on Windows Yes. I didn't know the proper vernacular :-) It is very likely that the default settings are different. I'm looking at that right now. -- Les Walker -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas Kellerer Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 1:00 PM To: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Tuning Postgres 9.1 on Windows Walker, James Les wrote on 01.05.2012 16:44: > I installed the enterprisedb distribution and immediately saw a 400% performance increase. What exactly is "the enterprisedb distribution"? Are you talking about the the Advanced Server? I would be very surprised if the code base would differ so much to allow such a performance gain. Could it be that the default settings for the Advanced Server are different than those of the "community edition"? And what did you have installed before that?
