First, if you going to dump the AMD... I'm catching ;)

Nope :P AMD is Great !!! and i definitely feel quite well with it then with Intel

I'm going to raise some questions in order to trigger you for the fault.
Are you sure that its not a hard disk bound queries?
Mybe the raid is slower then the last. (faulty driver??)

Seems so though not suppose to. its LSI Logic 53c1030 Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI.
The formaer one is Adaptec 2015 which suppose to be slower.


I suspect the Raid is the problem, some how its not fast as i expected it to be. im going to throw the Centos away and install a beautiful Debian Sarge 2.6.x on it :)

Is the os the same or you swiched it?
If you swiched it, i guess you have a problem with the kernel, mybe a module or something. Try to google for xeon slowing and the kernel.


Did you swich filesystem?

Yes, the OS came with ext3 :( thugh i dont think it can take the mechine down. maybe 10% in performance.

Hi All

Im running a postgres server on IBM machine with 2 Xeon 3G Cpu, 3 GB Mem
and Raid.

I decide to upgrade my server from dual AMD MP 2400, 2 GB mem and raid
to this machine because lately my queries became slower.
To my surprise the current server is even slower.

After banging my head against the wall for a day or two i noticed that
when the CPU is under heavy load the actual work is small ( divided by
50% between idle and wait )

The OS is Centos Linux 2.4.21 SMP

Here is a small cut from dstat. it shows the idle and iowait ( sum of 99
) and all the other are 1% :(

Any idea what could be the problem ?
