I've tried to reproduce this behavior, and I've done a quite extensive
set of tests on two different (quite different) machines, but so far I
have not observed anything like that. The results are attached, along
with the test scripts used.
I wonder if this might be due to pg_ycsb using random_zipfian, which has
somewhat annoying behavior for some parameters (as I've mentioned in a
separate thread). But that should affect all the runs, not just some
shared_buffers sizes.
