Re: [ADMIN] Benchmarking postgres on Solaris/Linux

As anyone done performance benchmark testing with solaris sparc/intel linux.
I once read a post here, which had benchmarking test results for using
different filesystem like xfs, ext3, ext2, ufs etc. i couldn't find that
link anymore and google is failing on me, so anyone have the link handy.

Thanks!

Personally, I've been unimpressed by Dell/Xeon; I think the Sun might do
better than you think, comparitively. On all the Dell servers I've used
so
far, I've not seen performance that comes even close to the hardware specs.
