Hi,
I recently upgraded PostgreSQL from 9.0.12 to 9.2.3 on a test server to compare performance. I'm using pgbench to measure which results in around a 60% reduction.
The non-default configuration remains identical between versions except archive_command (different location) and custom_variable_classes (no longer supported) and are detailed are below. Is there some updated default configuration that I'm missing? Perhaps it's because of the new cascading replication feature? I've tried tweaking the memory settings to no avail.
The Linux server is on a cloud and has 4GB RAM and 2 CPUs and the same server is running both master and slave (these are separate in production).
What does your recovery.conf look like? What if you don't run the slave at all, then how do they compare?
Cheers,
Jeff
