Hi Bruce,

I believe in the future that anyone doing serious benchmark tests before
large-scale implementation will indeed be testing things like this. 
There will also be people/companies out there who will specialise in
"tuning" PostgreSQL systems and they will definitely test stuff like
this... different variations, different database structures, different
OS's, etc.

Regards and best wishes,
