I've been tracking the performance of our DB query statements across a number of fairly high-volume pg clusters for several years (combined 2700 tps, ~1.3TB). Last year, we started migrating off HP-UX IA64 servers running pg 8.1.x onto Linux quadcore x86_64 Blade servers running pg 8.3.x while running on a high-grade SAN. Our average, overall query performance has improved by a very pleasant ~75%. But I'm curious why 'commit' statements (as well as certain update statements) seem to have actually degraded (1ms vs 5ms on avg, 2ms vs 14ms in the 95th percentile, etc). Any ideas? TIA.
