Unfortunately I don't have anything useful. I took the skewed TPC-H data that Lawrence Ramon posted and created a table based on lineitem using something along the lines of: SELECT *, g FROM lineitem, generate_series(1,8) AS g; Then I made an index on one of the columns and ran some queries that ended up being planned as bitmap index scans. The disk seemed to be doing its thing, but it didn't do it's thing any faster when I changed effective_io_concurrency to 4 (in fact there might have been a small slowdown but I didn't take the time to measure carefully, so I can't refute the null hypothesis). ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
