This might be the case because I have tested with fsync=off as my
internal harddrive would be a limiting factor and the results
wouldn't be really helpful. Perhaps it's still the IO system, I don't
know. I can try to reproduce the tests as close as possible again.
Perhaps I had different settings on something but I doubt that.
The new Core * CPUs from Intel are extremely fast with PostgreSQL.

I have also now an Xserve with two Dual-Core Xeons and two SAS drives
(15k Seagates) in a mirrored RAID here. Will do some testing tomorrow.
Btw: I always compare only to my own results to have something
comparable - same test, same scripts, same db version, same operating
system and so on. The rest is just pure interest.
