People have seen some pretty big gains going from 7.4 to 8.1. I recently
migrated http://stats.distributed.net and the daily processing
(basically OLAP) times were cut in half.
As someone else mentioned, IO is probably going to be your biggest
consideration, unless you have a lot of queries running at once.
Probably your best bang for the buck will be from an Opteron-based
server with a good number of internal drives.
