Hi Sven,

  I was following along with your e-mail there - is there any reason you are
using postgress over MySQL?  I use FreeBSD with MySQL here and have very good
luck with it.  I did use postgress years ago, but moved to MySQL and had better
luck.

  Also, in your testing, are you using a generic FreeBSD kernel or have you done
any tuning, tweaking to it and/or the OS settings?  

  I recently completed some tweaking with FreeBSD/apache and PHP and from start
to finish, ended up with a 750% increase in TPS.  So tweaking and fine tuning
(and being open to changing apps/versions of software) can have a big impact.

Thanks!

Ray
