My Dual Core Opteron server came in last week. I tried to do some
benchmarks with pgbench to get some numbers on the difference between
1x1 -> 2x1 -> 2x2 but no matter what I did, I kept getting the same TPS
on all systems. Any hints on what the pgbench parameters I should be using?
In terms of production use, it definitely can handle more load.
Previously, Apache/Perl had to run on a separate server to avoid a ~50%
penalty. Now, the numbers are +15% performance even with Apache/Perl
running on the same box as PostgreSQL. How much more load of course is
what I'd like to quantify.

I had a similar experience.
regardless of scaling, etc, I got same results. almost like flags
are not active.
did
pgbench -I template1
and
pgbench -c 10 -t 50 -v -d 1
and played around from there....
This is on IBM pSeries, AIX5.3, PG8.0.2

I wonder if the -c parameter is truly submitting everything in parallel.
Having 2 telnet sessions up -- 1 doing -c 1 and another doing -c 100 --
I don't see much different in the display speed messages. Perhaps it's
an issue with the telnet console display limiting the command speed. I
thought about piping the output to /dev/null but then the final TPS
results are also piped there. I can try piping output to a file on a
ramdisk maybe.
