	Sure would be nice....

Here's some preliminary results of my testing...

System:	RedHat Linux 7.1, kernel 2.4.3smp (i686)
		Dual PIII 733 / 133FSB  1024MB RAM
		2 18Gb 10000rpm U160 SCSI drives, hardware RAID1
		
		added to /etc/sysctl.conf:
			kernel.shmmax = 268435456
			kernel.shmall = 268435456

PG 7.1.2	

postgresql-7.1.2-4PGDG binary rpm set
		
	relevant entries from postgresql.conf:
		max_connections = 32 	
		sort_mem = 4096
		shared_buffers = 32000
		fsync = true

The only benchmark I have is almost useless but I'll put it here anyway...

time ./pg_regress --schedule=parallel_schedule
(using postmaster on Unix socket, default port)
...
...
======================
  All 76 tests passed.
