Re: PostgreSQL on Dual Processors, Dual-Core AMD Chips

Hi Onyx,

From what i understand Postgresql will scale with more cpus, but not in
the same way as threaded server would.
I believe that as each process(backend) is created it will get assigned
to a CPU.
From what I can tell it works in a similar fashion to the Firebird
classic server.

Hopefully a developer will chime in and add/correct me :-)

Thanks,
