I need to purchase a new server to put posgresql on that will be acting as the DBMS server for Apache ofBiz soon. While googling around for performance tweaks I saw this at http://revsys.com/ writings/postgresql-performance.html

CPUs — The more CPUs the better, however if your database does not use many complex functions your money is best spent on a better disk subsystem. Also, avoid Intel Xeon processors with PostgreSQL as there is a problem with the context switching in these processors that gives sub-par performance. Opterons are generally accepted as being a superior CPU for PostgreSQL databases.

Is this still true in regards to Xeon's? I was looking at a server with Quad Core Xeon 2 5335 @ 2.0GHz.

And at http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList


It seems to be outdated. As far as I know it was supposed to warn for the HyperThreading things.
