This is overestimating the performance and should be: SELECT 715833344 / 7597.216 / 1024 / 1024 * 1000; After a few more runs to increase confidence, the read performance is 87.17 and a stddev of 2.8. Which seems more reasonable, it should *not* be going above 90MB/s as often as it was. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
