Re: The results of my PostgreSQL/filesystem performance tests

Bill,

Very interesting results. I'd like to command you on your honesty.
Having started out with the intentions of proving that FreeBSD is faster
than Linux only to find that the opposite is true must not have been
rewarding for you. However, these unexpected results serve only to
reinforce the integrity of your tests.

Thanks for all the work.

tests

Hey all.

I said I was going to do it, and I finally did it.

As with all performance tests/benchmarks, there are probably dozens or
more reasons why these results aren't as accurate or wonderful as they
should be.  Take them for what they are and hopefully everyone can
learn a few things from them.

Intelligent feedback is welcome.
