Sorry to cut in -

So far we've found kernel 3.18 to be excellent for postgres 9.3 performance (pgbench + our own queries run much faster than with the 2.6.32-504 centos 6 kernel, and we haven't encountered random stalls or slowness).

We use elrepo to get prebuilt rpms of the latest mainline stable kernel (kernel-ml).
