We used scale factor of 3600.  
Yeah, maybe other people see similar load average, we were not sure.
However, we saw a clear difference right after the upgrade.  
We are trying to determine whether it makes sense for us to go to 11.04 or maybe there is something here we are
missing.

What size database?

32

I suppose I could throw multiple pgbenches at it.  I just dont' see the load numbers as unusual, but I don't have a
similarpre-12.04 server to compare with.
