Hi David,
$ I run the test again with the following options. Also I added the
html output of the result.
$ bonnie++ -u pgsql -n 128 -r 2048 -s 4096 -x 1
Using uid:70, gid:70.

What about this result?
This is a intel server with onboard raid. I will check raid
configuration again tomorrow. Especially Write Cache and Read Ahead
