Was this the range scan on the test table? (sorry about the error in
the query, the x should really be id) In that case the results look
really suspicious. My machine (4 cores, no ht, @ 4GHz, newer arch)
peaked at 90tps with the stated configuration. Even when upping the
shared_buffers and enabling indexonlyscan I didn't see more than about
540tps per thread. The test is designed to exercise buffer eviction,
doing about 9800 buffer reads per transaction with 32MB of buffers.
