Performance evaluation of PostgreSQL's historic releases

Hi,

I've done a benchmark of recent versions of PostgreSQL's last five major
releases to see how performance has changed during the past years from
version to version.
You can find the article here:
http://suckit.blog.hu/2009/09/26/postgresql_history

The tests were conducted on FreeBSD 8/amd64 on a midrange x86 server (4
CPUs, 24 cores, 128GiB RAM).

Do you have informations about the systime when doing such tests?

Thanks!
Very interesting.
Did you share it with the Postgresql list yet?
I think they would find it very interesting.

Any plans on doing simmilar tests with data that does not fit in memory?
Also could you share what settings were used for postgres? Where any
defaults changed? Effective memory, shared_buffers, etc... any of them
adjusted for the machine's memory?

I haven't got enough time to do the measurement right, so I could not log
that. But according to top there were idle times.
BTW, even on one thread, Linux (2.6.31) performs much better, better means
here 790 TPS vs. 580...

I've updated the article with the used config.

With this machine everything would fit in memory (72G disk versus 128 G RAM
:). Of course I could artificially limit it...

What test did you use to meassure TPS?
That is a pretty big difference.
