-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'll use PG on a dedicated machine with more than 4GB of memory. The problem is: what would be better to use: PAE ("bigmem" kernels) or 64-bit kernel? PAE pro: half the memory per pointer, int, etc. PAE risk: is PG able to take advantage of all the memory on PAE, esp. re things like shared buffers? 64-bit pro: it's more mainstream now, no worries about shared bufs etc. PAE overhead according to wikipedia should be small. (?) So, which one should be better? - -- Regards, mk - -- Premature optimization is the root of all fun. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNCJi2AAoJEFMgHzhQQ7hO05AH/jEr5hHlbqOh5MMdRR2GI3fM EyJhA1dCH9hMgOEn0k07NzFLCZcwZRCVTTIPvgZPz/4pLjSG/37N/oacy8KX6tDo 8i9r8YM41wwlX2xeaowHqXybTFkRloRLN1Lb5cOzm5AadJn+F9+QjVf2r9MSrpGy F/0pfWzR0Ams8HTbeW3GeB+vezEduRH8XUmuHs8DYx0q7KoeTAqyzFJwelU5R4vo PCz8s/4A2t0A1wkRy4J+nVteORYjjdY3Yz44Df/3Tt1oVCbn9+fV979XjWwWiXXk g9wq42/RI++gH8DBAx9iokBW8EKFb86GR4jlP4BxxO/glPhQv+bI1To9aPJwRm8= =1gzy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
