Did you compare 7.4 on a 4-way with 8.1 on a 2-way?
How many queries and clients did you use to test the performance?
How much faster is the XEON DP?
I think, you can expect that your XEON DP is faster on a single query
because CPU and RAM are faster. The overall performance can be better on
your XEON DP if you only have a few clients.
I guess, the newer hardware and the newer PostgreSQL version cause the
better performance.
Regards
Sven.
