How good is a pgbench test for evaluating things like this? I have
used it to compare several machines, operating systems and PostgreSQL
versions - but it was more or less just out of curiosity. The real
evaluation was made with "real life tests" - mostly scripts which
also tested the application server itself.

But as it was it's easy to compare several machines with pgbench, I
just did the tests and they were interesting and reflected the real
world not as bad as I had thought from a "benchmark".

So, personally I'm interested in a simple pgbench test - perhaps with
some more ( > 50) clients simulated ...
