You said 1634 page reads. At 9 ms per read that would be 14.7 seconds. But I'm basing the 9 ms per page read on my Linux experience, and I remember benchmarking the same application hitting PostgreSQL on the same hardware as about 30% faster on Linux than on Windows, so that *almost* makes up for the difference. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
