There are multiple layers that might be trying to optimize away the writes, and I don't know enough about Windows to help you debug it. But see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/wal-reliability.html for some discussion. > I don't figure out why such a difference. Also what should I expect? > Which one is reasonable? The lower number sounds a lot more plausible for laptop-grade hardware. If you weren't using an SSD I wouldn't believe that one was doing persistent commits either. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
