In the next days I will be testing the entire application with the same database only changing the backend from 7.1 to 8.0, so this is a somewhat perfect condition to have a "real-world" benchmark of Pg 8.0 vs 7.1.x performances.
The "next days" have come. I did a complete migration to Pg 8.0.1 from 7.1.3. It was a *huge* jump. The application is exactly the same, also the database structure is the same. I only dumped the entire 7.1.3 db, changed the backend version, and restored the data in the 8.0.1 db.
The performance level of Pg 8 is at least *five* times higher (faster!) than 7.1.3 in "query-intensive" transactions, which is absolutely astounding.
In my experience, Pg8 handles far better non-unique indexes with low cardinality built on numeric and integer types, which is very common in our application.
