Using 9.0devel cvs HEAD, 2010.04.08. I am trying to understand the performance difference between primary and standby under a standard pgbench read-only test.
server has 32 GB, 2 quadcores. primary: tps = 34606.747930 (including connections establishing) tps = 34527.078068 (including connections establishing) tps = 34654.297319 (including connections establishing) standby: tps = 700.346283 (including connections establishing) tps = 717.576886 (including connections establishing) tps = 740.522472 (including connections establishing) transaction type: SELECT only scaling factor: 1000 query mode: simple number of clients: 20 number of threads: 1 duration: 900 s both instances have max_connections = 100 shared_buffers = 256MB checkpoint_segments = 50 effective_cache_size= 16GB See also: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-testers/2010-04/msg00005.php (differences with scale 10_000) I understand that in the scale=1000 case, there is a huge cache effect, but why doesn't that apply to the pgbench runs against the standby? (and for the scale=10_000 case the differences are still rather large) Maybe these differences are as expected. I don't find any explanation in the documentation. thanks, Erik Rijkers -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
