exponentia​l performanc​e decrease, problem with version postgres + RHEL? - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hello everybody,

We have being doing some testing with an ISD transaction and we had
some problems that we posted here.

The answers we got were very kind and useful but we couldn't solve the problem.

We have doing some investigations after this and we are thinking if is
it possible that OS has something to do with this issue. I mean, we
have two hosts, both of them with OS = Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
release 6.2 (Santiago)

But when doing "select * from version()" on the postgres shell we obtain:

sessions=# select * from version();
                                                   version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC)
4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3), 64-bit
(1 row)

We don't understand why in here it's written "(Red Hat 4.4.6-3)".

Is it possible that we have installed a postgres' version that it's
not perfect for the OS?

But if this is a problem, why are we obtaining a normal perform on a
host and an exponential performance decrease on another?

And how can we obtain a normal performance when launching the program
which does the queries from another host (remote url) but when
launching it in the same host we obtain this decrease on the
performance?


Any idea would be great!

Thanks very much!!!!
