Can you give me some tips? > Thank you. Well I'm using sysbench and the collection of patches in my kris-contention p4 branch. Sorry, I don't have an extracted patch set available for you to try, but we're hoping to get the most important patches into 7.0 within a week or two. On the pgsql side, disable the update_process_titles option (or whatever it is called), because this has a 33% performance overhead for me. Also if you're testing over localhost, use a unix socket instead of letting it use tcp because the latter is easily saturated when you have many CPUs running client threads, and peak performance is less than half of what it is over a unix socket. ULE is faster on 7.0, but currently has some performance problems at intermediate loads; Jeff hopes to fix this soon. Kris
