Yeah, it is.
We didn't do any profiling.
We had a Sun-engineer visit us to see why MySQL performed so bad on the
T2000 and he has done some profiling, but that is of course just a small
and specific part of our total set of benchmarks.
Postgresql was mostly left out of that picture since it performed pretty
well (although it may even do better with more tuning and profiling).
We are/were not interested enough in the profiling-part, since we just
run the benchmark to see how fast each system is. Not really to see how
fast each database is or why a database is faster on X or Y.
The latter is of course pretty interesting, but also requires quite a
bit of knowledge of the internals and a bit of time to analyze the
results...
Best regards,
Arjen
