Tom,So, I finally have new SpecJ tests, and between June 8th's 8.2 CVS and last Wednesday's we're seeing a 10% drop in CPU utilization for a fixed-size workload, which could mean that the buffer lock partitioning resulted in less lock conflicts.
We'll see once we have the Dtrace reports and try to scale up the workload. --Josh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
