Ok, I turned off XDMCP and network bandwidth utilization dropped to less than
5%.
Timings remained the same.
Curiously five times faster time for Oracle came from a client running on a
different host than the server.
To make things worse for Postgres, when I replace "hostname" in jdbc string
to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1
it runs another 60% slower (446 sec vs 275 sec). Strange.
Before I take this discussion to jdbc list, why is CPU utilization 100%
during insert ? could that be a bottleneck. How to eliminate it ? These are
Intel WordCrest 5110 Xeon cores.
thank you
