Are those VMs or bare metal? What CPUs and RAM are there? Have you checked that power management is disabled / cpufreq uses the same policy? That typically affects short CPU-bound queries. Other than that, I recommend performing basic system benchmarks (CPU, memory, ...) and only if those machines perform equally should you look for issues in PostgreSQL. Chances are the root cause is in hw or OS, in which case you need to address that first. regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
