PG 9.5.3 RHEL Linux To cut the story short and giving as much details as I can remember: I created 40 database db1 .. db40 in a cluster. On each database I initialized pgbench tables with a scale of 15. Then I concurrently ran 5 pgbenches for 15 min. Each pgbench connected to one db. In other words, no two pgbench sessions were working on the same db. I noticed that as I scale from 5 to 10 to 20 to 40, the TPS starts falling almost linearly : with 5, TPS was doing 639 with 10 TPS was down to 490 with 20 TPS was down to 280 and so on. Are we missing something? Where do I start looking for the root cause. thanks -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
