Hopefully if I can get it to run well under pgbench the same setup will work well with drupal. The site I was worried about when I went to this bigger server has started a little slower than originally projected so the old server is handling the load.
The standard TPC-B-like test pgbench runs is not even remotely like what Drupal will do on your server. It's almost a write-only test--the few things that are read in are also being written.
I'd suggest you explore pgbench using the "-S" flag (or what pgbench-tools calls select.sql) to generate select-only loads at various sizes and client counts to get an idea what your server is going to do on loads more like a web application.
