It would be fairly easy to check this by repeating the comparisons with fsync = off in postgresql.conf. A performance number that doesn't change much would be a smoking gun ;-). The native port hasn't had any performance testing done on it yet, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a gotcha or two. Perhaps with the recent schedule change there will be some time for performance tuning before we go beta. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
