We are getting ready to spec out a new machine and are wondering about
the wisdom of buying a quad versus a dual processor machine.  Seing as
how postgres in not a threaded application, and this server will only be
used for log/transaction analysis (it will only ever have a few large
queries running).  Is there any performance to be gained, and if so is
it worth the large cost?  Any thoughts/experience are much
appreciated...
