Hi, I've rewritten the testclient now to use COPY, but I'm getting the exact same results as when doing bundled, prepared inserts. I'm CPU-bound with an I/O well below what my disks could do :( Bye, Chris. PS1: someone off-list suggested using oprofile, which I will do. PS2: in case somebody is iterested, the test client is here: http://www.1006.org/tmp/20051027/ pgclient-1.1.c is prepared inserts, 2.0 is binary copy. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
