Wow, that patch made a pretty big difference: http://developer.osdl.org/markw/dbt2-pgsql/191/ - metric 1605.51 So no one has to look for older mail before I applied that patch: http://developer.osdl.org/markw/dbt2-pgsql/190/ - metric 1427.24 Looks like about a 12% improvement in the overall metric. The first thing I noticed is that do_sigaction in the kernel profile almost disappeared. The top few functions in the database profile doesn't appear to have changed much.
