These results are good but I don't get similar results in my own testing. I ran pgbench tests at a variety of client counts and scale factors, using 30-minute test runs and the following non-default configuration parameters. shared_buffers = 8GB maintenance_work_mem = 1GB synchronous_commit = off checkpoint_segments = 300 checkpoint_timeout = 15min checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9 log_line_prefix = '%t [%p] ' Here are the results. The first field in each line is the number of clients. The second number is the scale factor. The numbers after "master" and "patched" are the median of three runs. 01 100 master 1433.297699 patched 1420.306088 01 300 master 1371.286876 patched 1368.910732 01 1000 master 1056.891901 patched 1067.341658 01 3000 master 637.312651 patched 685.205011 08 100 master 10575.017704 patched 11456.043638 08 300 master 9262.601107 patched 9120.925071 08 1000 master 1721.807658 patched 1800.733257 08 3000 master 819.694049 patched 854.333830 32 100 master 26981.677368 patched 27024.507600 32 300 master 14554.870871 patched 14778.285400 32 1000 master 1941.733251 patched 1990.248137 32 3000 master 846.654654 patched 892.554222 And here's the same results for 5-minute, read-only tests: 01 100 master 9361.073952 patched 9049.553997 01 300 master 8640.235680 patched 8646.590739 01 1000 master 8339.364026 patched 8342.799468 01 3000 master 7968.428287 patched 7882.121547 08 100 master 71311.491773 patched 71812.899492 08 300 master 69238.839225 patched 70063.632081 08 1000 master 34794.778567 patched 65998.468775 08 3000 master 60834.509571 patched 61165.998080 32 100 master 203168.264456 patched 205258.283852 32 300 master 199137.276025 patched 200391.633074 32 1000 master 177996.853496 patched 176365.732087 32 3000 master 149891.147442 patched 148683.269107 Something appears to have screwed up my results for 8 clients @ scale factor 300 on master, but overall, on both the read-only and read-write tests, I'm not seeing anything that resembles the big gains you reported. Tests were run on a 16-core, 64-hwthread PPC64 machine provided to the PostgreSQL community courtesy of IBM.
