Here is how I got the numbers..
I had about 1600 users login into postgresql. Then started the run with
500 users and using DTrace I started tracking Postgresql  Locking "as
viewed from one user/connection". Echo statements indicate how many
users were active at that point and how was throughput performing. All
IO is done on /tmp which means on a RAM disk.

bash-3.00# echo 500 users - baseline number
500 users
