That was also my earlier analysis. I'm suspicious that we haven't had much feedback about this. We've heard of one or two cases where LLVM broke a query outright, and that was fixed and that was a good result. But we haven't heard anything about performance regressions. Surely there must be some. There hasn't been any discussion or further analysis of the default cost settings either. I feel that we don't have enough information. Another problem is that LLVM is only enabled in some versions of packages. For example, in the PGDG RPMs, it's enabled for RHEL 7 but not RHEL 6. So you could be in for a surprise if you upgrade your operating system at some point. I would like, however, that we make a decision one way or the other before the next beta. I've been handwaving a bit to users not to rely on the current betas for performance testing because the defaults might change later. That's bad either way. FWIW; Our largest report-queries perform worse (then v10) with jit=on; https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/VisenaEmail.24.e60072a07f006130.162d95c3e17%40tc7-visena Disabling JIT makes them perform slightly better than v10. -- Andreas Joseph Krogh
