Here is my pgbench results. As you can see the I am getting 2X tps with
the 2 directories. I believe this is a BIG win for Postgresql if we can
figure out the WAL recovery issues.
Can someone other than me apply the patch and verify the pgbench
results.
My hardward setup is a dual processor P3/733 running Redhat 7.1 with 512
megs of memory. The postgresql.conf file is the installed version with
NO changes.
