Thread: performance tips please
Hi, I am testing my application and DB (postgres 8.1.4 ) on a :
DELL-Power Edge 1800 with 2 Xeon 3.2ghz, 2 Gb RAM and 2 SCSI 149 Gb each.
trouble is that the same application and DB(postgres 8.0.4) runs on a:
DELL pentium 3 with 526MB of RAM and an IDE 20 GB
and comparing the performance of both, a get only 20-30seconds faster responses on the new server, where can I start looking to find out why is the second server performing this way.
any advice is very appreciated,
thanks in advance

Are you running the same OS? Can pgsql distribute the load on both Xeon processors? Is pgsql custom compiled for a specific architecture (Pentium III, for example)? How do you measure the response time? Are there other apps involved? t.n.a.
I assume the the task takes longer than 5 seconds to complete?

t.n.a.
The DELL PIII box runs FC4 , the config is the default one.
The DELL Xeon runs SUSE 10.0, the config has some changes to improve autovacuum, thats all.
I just downloaded the source and follow the tipical install instructions on both machines.
The application takes the start and end time of the query, mainly it is a reporting application running on a WinXP client.
thanks
