If by 4th point, you mean to test the case when data fits in shared buffers, then Mithun has already reported above [1] that it didn't see any regression for that case [1] - http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/cad__ouiobznvtt_ho__p5aenu4inqcfwgarxr4tblke-uxy...@mail.gmail.com Read line - Even for READ-WRITE when data fits into shared buffer (scale_factor=300 and shared_buffers=8GB) performance has improved.
