You might try using valgrind's cachegrind tool which I understand can actually emulate various processors' cache to show how efficiently code uses it. I haven't done much with it though so I don't know how applicable it would be to a large-scale effect like this. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
