In my experience, a 10% difference in pgbench results is below the noise level :-(. And when you only run 300 transactions, the results are too unrepeatable even to be worth posting. If you had run, say, 10000-transaction tests and averaged the results over a couple dozen runs, the mean and standard deviation of those results might be enough data to tell something. BTW, when you use a number of clients greater than the scaling factor, what you're measuring is mostly contention artifacts ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
