Hi, Can you run bonnie++ version 1.03a on the machine and report the results here? Do you know if the figures from bonnie++ are able to measure the performance related to the overhead of the 'fsync' option? I had very strange performance differences between two Dell 1850 machines months ago,

I had enable_seqscan turned OFF; With enable_seqscan turned ON it takes only 6 minutes to complete the query and not 44minuts like it did with enable_seqscan turned OFF. THANKS A LOT! It's still much more slower than MS SQL server but now it has acceptable times. Sebastián Baioni ---
