@Thomas, this tool looks very interesting!
@Jimmy:
Back to the question, you might approach the problem from a different perspective..
If you run a query 2 consecutive times, from the second on, you should be at 'full speed'.
Therefore if the first run takes X seconds but the consecutive runs take only a fraction of it, then you have probably cached all the data.
It might be as simple as that. But also take into account:
- What is written above is true when the size of the table fits in RAM
- No other activity is going on. If you have other activity going on on the disk, it will pollute your results
- If you read from disk, you will see read activity on the data disk, given that your are graphing it. If is cached then it does not read from disk.
- Running the query with 'explain' will tell you in detail what is going on. (Maybe you forgot to create an index on Postgres and is there on Oracle?)
- If you are doing sorts and the data does not fit on work_mem then you are making use of disk space, slowing down operations

I find the speed of query is not fast, I wonder whether it query data from memory. And it is slower than Oracle, both of Oracle and Postgresql has same table and count of data. when pg_prewarm use 'read' mode, the data is put into the OS cache, how to examine the table which is pg_prewarmed into the OS cache . I know pg_buffercache ,but it just examine the table in the shared buffer of Postgresql, not the table in the OS cache.This is a quick and dirty hack, but it might do what you want: https://github.com/macdice/pgdata_mincore Tested on FreeBSD, not sure how well it'll travel.
