Hi!
Solaris is not Linux and not BSD too. Native processor for it was *not* Intel
(Sparc is a RISK one, not Intel/AMD CISC). Information about perfomance
difference between 32 and 64-bit code in Solaris & Posrgress on AMD may be a
real fact.
One may say "On Linux/BSD with MySQL (PostgressSQL?) there is no perfomance
difference between 32 and 64-bit code on AMD."
If anybody in this maillist have specific information (use Solaris & Postgres
on AMD processors), You may got correct information.
Or dig please other (specific for Solaris/Postgress) maillists/forums, if You
need *Solaris & Posrgress on AMD* info.
Best regards
Vladimir
This may be an antiquated topic, but I'm still a little fuzzy on this 64bit vs
32bit thing when it comes to performance. I know that 32 bit operating systems
and software can run faster than the 64 bit OS and software in certain
environments. However, I'm curious if a Postgres server handling dbmail would
qualify as one of those faster on 32 bit, or on 64 bit.I do see in the Postgres
Solaris FAQ: "And on other hand,32-bit code on the AMD64 CPU family is
not native, and that is why 32-bit code is significant slower on this CPU
family."I guess if my processor ends up being either an Opteron or modern Xeon
that would settle this.. . . . But if someone has a very firm understanding of
this that could confirm, that would be appreciated.
