I had (allready) saved the thread in my mail-account so I could look
it up before I started testing. :-) So I compiled postgresql with the
option WITH_THREADSAFE=true and used sysbench with --pgsql-host="" .
As pointed out by Ivan my test also involved r/w whereas the thread
you (probably) mention at
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.stable/browse_thread/thread/e224cd4f76e9ec2d
is a read-only test.

I forgot to mention in my first post that I'm using ULE. The p800
controller has a (factory set) 25/75 read/write cache ratio.


I am still going through my own testing. One thing I noticed, on a 4G RAM machine (still waiting for the RAM to test with 8G), the disks are not that busy. It seems to be the CPU that is the bottleneck on FreeBSD. I tried the test with 900,000 rows instead.

I am also using ULE, pgsql with WITH_THREADSAFE=true and not using TCP to connect. How busy were your disks in your testing ?
