I have IBM x3560 with 2G RAM - RAID 5 3 disk - PostgreSQL 9.0.6 64bit on Windows 2003 64bit I had read some tuning guide, it recomment not use RAID 5. So Raid 5 is bestter than 3 disk independent or not.
Here is my pgbench -h %HOST% -p 5433 -U postgres -c 10 -T 1800 -s 10 pgbench pgbench -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5433 -U postgres -c 10 -T 1800 -s 10 pgbench Scale option ignored, using pgbench_branches table count = 10 starting vacuum...end. transaction type: TPC-B (sort of) scaling factor: 10 query mode: simple number of clients: 10 number of threads: 1 duration: 1800 s number of transactions actually processed: 775366 tps = 430.736191 (including connections establishing) tps = 430.780400 (excluding connections establishing) Sorry for my English.
