Hello list, I installed and compiled the latest CVS-Beta of Postgres and made some simple benchmarks with extremely simple tables (only a SERIAL and a int4 column). According to http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001112.php3 the newest beta is much more faster then the 7.0 releases. But with my tests the 7.0 needs ~1.6 milliseconds for each SELECT number FROM simple WHERE id = 123 where 123 is always different a random number. I compiled Postgres without any options and started postmaster with the -F option, so inserts are much more faster then in 7.0 without -F, but always ~10 times slower then the same with MySQL (on the other hand: the select statement needs on mysql about 1.1 milliseconds, so the differences are here not so big). I guess there are some configuration options which helps to speed up the stuff, any hints? Also with some other other simple speed benchmarks i found some strange behaviour, if some of the developers is interested let me know; the next days I'll make some more complicated ;) Bye Alvar -- Alvar C.H.
