Matthew,
Some benchmark comparisons would be really useful though, so please
don't be dissuaded from looking at 8.3. It's planned to be released
after Christmas, so we're probably around 2 business weeks away from
release if you ignore the holiday period.
Everything you've said suggests you've hit the scalability limit of 7.4,
which had a buffer manager that got worse with larger settings, fixed in
8.0. Most of the scalability stuff has been added since then and 8.3
looks to be really fast, but we would still like some more performance
numbers.
