Scott, Can confirm that for pg purposes, 3.2 is basically broken in some not to great ways. We've had servers that were overloaded at load factors of 20 or 30 drop down to 5 or less with just a change from 3.2 to 3.11/3.13 on ubuntu 12.04 That's correct, and 3.5 shares the same problems.

Josh, there seems to be an inconsistency in your blog. You say 3.10.X is safe, but the graph you show with the poor performance seems to be from 3.13.X which as I understand it is a later kernel. Can you clarify which 3.X kernels are good to use and which are not? Sorry to cut in - So

It would be interesting to get raw performance benchmarks in addition to PG specific benchmarks. I’ve been measuring raw I/O performance of a few of our systems and run the following tests as well: 1. 10 runs of bonnie++ 2. 5 runs of hdparm -Tt 3. Using a temp file created on the SSD, dd
