Re: BUG #13498: make check failures

I'll agree to a point.

I'll see what else I can find out. Is there an option to make the test more
verbose ? And I'll see what I can get out of the what changes the
optimization does

Its a pitty, I'd love to get postgresql screaming on a P-series. In other
things level 3 can increase the performance 20-30% and level 5 in one
program that does a lot of array searching 50-70%
