Right now I am collecting the data for Synchronous_commit =on mode; My
initial observation is that
incase fsync is off, the results are good(around 50% perf improvement).
However if fsync is on, the performance results fall down to 3~5%. I am not
sure even if the data for I/O is reduced,
Still why there is no big performance gain as in case of Synchronous_commit
= off or when fsync is off.
I am trying with different methods of wal_sync_method parameter and by
setting some value of commit_delay as suggested by Peter Geoghegan in one of
his mails.
Please suggest me if anyone has any thoughts on what kind of parameter's are
best for such a use case or let me know if I am missing anything and such
kind of performance improvement can only improve performance for fsync =off
case.
