Hi Vishwa,
Is it possible that your data is in the cache on the low end machine but not on the high end machine? There’s both the
Postgrescache and the OS disk cache to consider. You can see what’s in the Postgres cache with an extension like
pg_buffercache.I don’t know of a way to see what’s in the OS cache; maybe others do.
Cheers
Philip
