Re: SURVEY: who is running postgresql on 8 or more CPUs?

Hi Dawid,

postgresql is open source and we also want it to be used in high 
performance areas. What's wrong with people telling on which machines 
they use it? I don't care about business details but techinal details 
would be quite interesting. In the end it is interesting to know how you 
need to tune postgresql on high end machines and how well they perform 
on the different highend platforms. This is meant to be more a field 
study and not a benchmark. We know that Opteron performs well but what 
are people actually using in high performance areas? Does postgresql run 
on an E10000? Who did it?

Regards,

Dirk
