Subject: size of cache
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 10:20:51 +0200
Message-ID: <4b09a0c05071301207d452ace@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

with my application, it seems that size of cache has great effect:
from 512 Kb of L2 cache to 1Mb boost performance with a factor 3 and
20% again from 1Mb L2 cache to 2Mb L2 cache.
I don't understand why a 512Kb cache L2 is too small to fit the data's
does it exist a tool to trace processor activity and confirm that
processor is waiting for memory ?
does it exist a tool to snapshot postgres activity and understand
where we spend time and potentialy avoid the bottleneck ?

thanks for your tips.
