Don't think. Benchmark. :-)
(If you can measure it at all, it's too much, at least IMHO.)
I've tried to benchmark this now on my (fairly slow compared to server
hardware) MacBook and see some negative trend for those memory probes in
pgbench. Running dozens of rounds with pgbench (scale 150, 10 clients /
1000 transactions) gives the following numbers (untuned PostgreSQL config):
AVG(tps) with dtrace memory probes: 31.62 tps
AVG(tps) without dtrace memory probes: 38.24 tps
So there seems to be a minor slowdown at least on *my* machine. However, it
would be fine if someone can prove these numbers..
What do you guys think, what other tests/parameters can be invoked to test
for an impact ?
