Re: [PERFORM] Trying to figure out pgbench

I wonder if the -c parameter is truly submitting everything in parallel. 
Having 2 telnet sessions up -- 1 doing -c 1 and another doing -c 100 -- 
I don't see much different in the display speed messages. Perhaps it's 
an issue with the telnet console display limiting the command speed. I 
thought about piping the output to /dev/null but then the final TPS 
results are also piped there. I can try piping output to a file on a 
ramdisk maybe.

did

pgbench -I template1
and
pgbench -c 10 -t 50 -v -d 1 


and played around from there

This is on IBM pSeries, AIX5.3, PG8.0.2

My Dual Core Opteron server came in last week. I tried to do some 
benchmarks with pgbench to get some numbers on the difference between 
1x1 -> 2x1 -> 2x2 but no matter what I did, I kept getting the same TPS 
on all systems. Any hints on what the pgbench parameters I should be using?


In terms of production use, it definitely can handle more load. 
Previously, Apache/Perl had to run on a separate server to avoid a ~50% 
penalty. Now, the numbers are +15% performance even with Apache/Perl 
running on the same box as PostgreSQL. How much more load of course is 
what I'd like to quantify.
