Hi Onyx,
From what i understand Postgresql will scale with more cpus, but not in
the same way as threaded server would.
I believe that as each process(backend) is created it will get assigned
to a CPU.
From what I can tell it works in a similar fashion to the Firebird
classic server.
Hopefully a developer will chime in and add/correct me :-)
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if PostgreSQL supports running on dual processors,
and will efficiently utilize the dual processors for performance?
More specifically, will PostgreSQL utilize the dual processor
performance of using dual-core AMD chips? Any information would be
helpful...
Thank you!
