I see a huge performance increase, when applied to CVS from 20050301.
Baseline against 8.0.1:
http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/309/
throughput 3639.97
CVS from 20050301:
http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/314/
throughput 5483.01
I only ran this for 30 minutes, as opposed to 60, but it looks
promising.
So about a 50% increase in throughput for my test. Not to shabby. ;)
