I've just did a quick read of Bruce's article in Linux Journal.  My take
is this is more than a hardware issue.  Table size, indexes (indices?)
verses sequential scans will come into play.  I don't think you can even
really test without some relevant data, queries, etc.
   Again this was a very quick read of the article.


Thanks Bruce.  It looks enlightening.

Cheers,
Rod
