However, the two extra cores (even if slower), will greatly help if you
have any kind of concurrency.
as much as I understand with running Postgres in the default configuration, there *will* be concurrency, without an "if" ?
I am thinking of the background writer, the autovacuum process, the log writer and finally the connection serving process. ... quite sure of that "default concurrency" because I had to explain those basic 5 postgres.exe to at least 8 Windows Admins...
My non-benchmarked experience is that "multicore and postgres good" (experience mainly drawn from windows)
