Hello :)
What version would PostgreSQL 8.1.4 be?

Could you give us some more infos about the box' performance while you
run the PG benchmark? A few minutes output of "vmstat 10" maybe? What
does "top" say?

How are you using the 3 disks? Did you split pg_xlog and the database
on different disks or not?

Can you say something about the clients? Do they run over network from
other hosts? What language/bindings do they use?
When they do inserts, are the inserts bundled or are there
single insert transactions? Are the statements prepared?
Bye, Chris.
