We used scale factor of 3600. Yeah, maybe other people see similar load average, we were not sure. However, we saw a clear difference right after the upgrade. We are trying to determine whether it makes sense for us to go to 11.04 or maybe there is something here we are missing. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Josh Berkus Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 1:38 PM To: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: High CPU usage / load average after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 On 02/13/2013 05:30 PM, Dan Kogan wrote: > Just to be clear - I was describing the current situation in our production. > > We were running pgbench on different Ununtu versions today. I don’t have 12.04 setup at the moment, but I do have 12.10, which seems to be performing about the same as 12.04 in our tests with pgbench. > Running pgbench with 8 jobs and 32 clients resulted in load average of about 15 and TPS was 51350.

I just dont' see the load numbers as unusual, but I don't have a similar pre-12.04 server to compare with. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
