I think this paper was mentioned before, did you read it?... "An 
Analysis of Linux Scalability to Many Cores"?
<http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/linux:osdi10.pdf>;


ABSTRACT.
"This paper analyzes the scalability of seven system applications (Exim,
memcached, Apache, PostgreSQL, gmake, Psearchy, and MapReduce) running
on Linux on a 48- core computer."


The paper is about Linux, but it also focus on some changes that can be 
made to PostgreSQL to achieve better concurrency.
