I have a summary of intial results from our DBT-2 workload with
PostgreSQL 7.4.1 on a 4-way Itanium2 system with 16GB of memory and 56
drives using LVM2 and linux-2.6.3.  There's readprofile
and oprofile data, but oprofile is seg faulting when it's trying to
generate the annotated assembly source.

I'm still trying to get a feel for how large of a database I can run
with it, but I wanted to share what I've got so far.  It looks like I
have quite a bit of unused system resources, so I probably have to tune
the database and perhaps how I'm driving the load a bit.

Let me know if there are any questions.

You could try q-tools, see the announcement here:

Besides the flat profile, it will also give you call-counts.  (It
would be nice if this feature could be added to oprofile some day.)
