You are right Christopher.
Okay. Let's solve this matter.
What PostgreSQL benchmark software should I use???
I'll test PostgreSQL 8.1 on a Fedora Core 6 and on a Gentoo. I'll get
the same version FC6 uses and install it at my Gentoo. I'll use the
same hardware (diferent partitions to each).
I'm not saying that Gentoo is faster than FC6. I just want to prove
that if you compile your software to make better use of your
processor, it will run faster.
It might take a few days because I'm pretty busy right now at my job.
Best regards,
Daniel
