I think you're referring to "floating point operations per second", not
"floating points"---hence Colin's confusion.
If I understand your question, PG doesn't require any specific
performance level but your application probably does. For example, PG
would be quite happy giving back one row per year if that's all your
processor(s) were capable of. Your users may be a little unhappy with
this though!
What are you doing and what hardware have you tried it on?
