Yes - although I have autovacuum off, partly to make an apples to apples
comparison with 7.3 and partly due to the nature of the app.
On the application side I'm connecting via npgsql from .Net - the
application is basically pumping large numbers of rows into a heavily
indexed db (used for analysis later). Performance went from 100-200
rows per-second (which was being capped by cpu usage on the client side)
to more like 10 rows per second.
I'm going to investigate what effect upgrading npgsql has too - as it
appears there is a new version available. I will report back with what
I find.
I just enabled autovacuum - with no apparent speed increase.
Odd.
