Hmm, that's pretty significant. I tried it on a Xeon EM64T (thanks to Stephen Frost for providing access), also 2 phys 4 log, and get: Yesterday's CVS tip: 1 32s 2 46s 4 88s 8 168s plus no-cmpb and spindelay2: 1 32s 2 48s 4 100s 8 177s plus just-committed code to pad LWLock to 32: 1 33s 2 50s 4 98s 8 179s alter to pad to 64: 1 33s 2 38s 4 108s 8 180s I don't know what to make of the 2-process time going down while 4-process goes up; that seems just weird. But both numbers are repeatable. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
