Re: Tips and tunning for pgsql on HP-UX PA-RISC (RP3410)

Well you probably will need to run your own tests to get a conclusive
answer. It should be that hard -- compile once with gcc, make a copy of
the installed binaries to pgsql.gcc -- then repeat with the HP compiler.

In general though, gcc works best under x86 computers. Comparisons of
gcc on x86 versus Itanium versus PPC show binaries compiled for Itanium
and PPC drastically underperform compared to gcc/x86. I suspect it's
probably the same situation for HP-UX.
