Hi, These last two days, I have some troubles with a very strange phenomena: I have a 400 Mb database and a stored procedure written in perl which call 14 millions times spi_exec_query (thanks to Tom to fix the memory leak ;-) ). On my laptop whith Centrino 1.6 GHz, 512 Mb RAM, - it is solved in 1h50' for Linux 2.6 - it is solved in 1h37' for WXP Professionnal (<troll on> WXP better tan Linux ;-) <troll off>) On a Desktop with PIV 2.8 GHz, - it is solved in 3h30 for W2K On a Desktop with PIV 1.8 GHz, two disks with data and index's on each disk - it is solved in 4h for W2K
I test CPU, memory performance on my laptop and it seems that the performances are not perfect except for one single test: String sort. So, it seems that for my application (database in memory, 14 millions of very small requests), Centrino (aka Pentium M) has a build-in hardware to boost Postgres performance :-) Any experience to confirm this fact ? -- Jean-Max Reymond CKR Solutions Open Source Nice France http://www.ckr-solutions.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
