... which still have no provable relationship to the ratio we need to measure. See my previous comments to Curt; I don't think you can possibly get trustworthy results out of a shell script + dd approach, because we do not implement Postgres using dd. If you implemented a C testbed and then proved by experiment that the shell script got comparable numbers, then I'd believe its results. Without that confirmation, these are just meaningless numbers. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
