Just wondering what I can do to squeeze out more performance of my database application? Here's my configuration:
- Mac mini server - Core i7 quad-core at 2GHz - 16GB memory - Dedicated fast SSD (two SSDs in the server) - Mac OS X 10.7.2 (*not* using OS X Server) - PostgreSQL 9.05 - PostGIS 1.5.3 - Tiger Geocoder 2010 database (from build scripts from http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/extras/tiger_geocoder/tiger_2010/) - Database size: ~90GB I should say, this box does more than PostgreSQL geocoding/reverse-geocoding, so reasonably only half of the memory should be allotted to PostgreSQL. Coming from MySQL, I would normally play with the my.cnf, using my-huge.cnf as a start. But I'm new to PostgreSQL and PostGIS (w/ a big database), so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on tuning parameters (also, which files, etc.) Thanks! …Rene
