If hyperthreading is definitely NOT an issue, it will save me a
trip to the co-lo facility.
Thanks,

This is
driving me crazy. A new server, virtually identical to an
old one, has 50% of the performance with pgbench. I've
checked everything I can think of.
The setups (call the servers "old" and "new"):
old: 2 x 4-core Intel Xeon E5620
new: 4 x 4-core Intel Xeon E5606
Actually it's not 16 cores. It's 8 cores, hyperthreaded.
Hyperthreading is disabled on the old system.
Is that enough to make this radical difference? (The
server is at a co-location site, so I have to go down
there to boot into the BIOS and disable hyperthreading.)

My latest development box (Intel Latest Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge
Quad Core with HT 3.4GHz) has hyperthreading - and it does
make a significant difference.
Cheers,
Gavin
