Right- when the database fits in the OS cache but not in shared_buffers.
I do agree that's a useful improvement to make based on your testing.
It's not clear off-hand how much that would improve this case, as
the database size appears to pretty quickly get beyond the OS memory
size (and only in the first test is the DB starting size less than
system memory to begin with).
Thanks!
