Thanks guys,
I update PG to 8.2.3. The results are much better now.
1 process : 0.94 second
2 processes: 1.32 seconds
4 processes: 2.03 seconds
8 processes: 2.54 seconds
Do you think they are good enough?
BTW where can I found some info on what 8.2.3 did to improve
scalability compared with pre 8.1 versions?
