Hi, I am testing my application and DB (postgres 8.1.4 ) on a : DELL-Power Edge 1800 with 2 Xeon 3.2ghz, 2 Gb RAM and 2 SCSI 149 Gb each. trouble is that the same application and DB(postgres 8.0.4) runs on a: DELL pentium 3 with 526MB of RAM and an IDE 20 GB and comparing the performance of both, a get only 20-30seconds faster responses on the new server, where can I start looking to find out why is the second server performing this way. any advice is very appreciated, thanks in advance Hugo
I assume the the task takes longer than 5 seconds to complete? Are you running the same OS? Can pgsql distribute the load on both Xeon processors? Is pgsql custom compiled for a specific architecture (Pentium III, for example)? How do you measure the response time? Are there other apps involved? t.n.a.
