I will. I'm currently running tests with less concurrent clients (16)
with exactly the same results:
64M 4213.314902
256M 4012.782820
512M 3676.840722
768M 3377.791211
1024M 2863.133965
64M again 4274.531310

I'm rerunning the tests using Greg Smith's pgbench-tools [1] to obtain
a graph of each run.
