Starting to get some quantitative data now. Here is the results from the pgbench scaling:

  pgbench -t 2000 -c 32 -S pgbench

for scales of 2^n where n=0..14 for scale, DB size in MB, and transactions per second:

Scale DB Size   TPS
-------------------
    1     21  65618
    2     36  66060
    4     66  65939
    8    125  66469
   16    245  67065
   32    484  60764
   64    963  64676
  128   1920  68151
  256   3834  65933
  512   7662  50777
 1024  15360  66717
 2048  30720  62811
 4096  61440   5558
 8192 122880   1854

The range 2048-8192 is an area to study in more detail, obviously. Feedback welcome.


Cheers,
