Wow, that patch made a pretty big difference:http://developer.osdl.org/markw/dbt2-pgsql/191/- metric 1605.51

So no one has to look for older mail before I applied that patch:http://developer.osdl.org/markw/dbt2-pgsql/190/-
metric1427.24
 

Looks like about a 12% improvement in the overall metric.  The first thing I
noticed is that do_sigaction in the kernel profile almost disappeared.  The
top few functions in the database profile doesn't appear to have changed much.
