I don't this so, because DB2 is running on a Sun Sparc T1 processor
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sun.com/processors/UltraSPARC-T1/">http://www.sun.com/processors/UltraSPARC-T1/</a>) that's implements much
more features, like thread level parelelism, than AMD Opteron.<br>
<br>
the DB2 installation:<br>
<br>
<pre>J2EE AppServer HW (SUT hardware)
Hardware Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Model Name: Sun Fire T2000 Server
Processor: Sun UltraSPARC T1
MHz: 1400
# of CPUs: 8 cores, 1 chip, 8 cores/chip (4 threads/core)
Memory (MB): 65536
L1 Cache: 16KB(I)+8KB(D) per core
L2 Cache: 3MB per chip</pre>
the postgres installation:<br>
<pre>J2EE AppServer HW (SUT hardware)
Hardware Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Model Name: Sun Fire X4200 M2
Processor: AMD Opteron 2220 SE
MHz: 2800
# of CPUs: 4 cores, 2 chips, 2 cores/chip
Memory (MB): 8192
L1 Cache: 64KB(I)+16KB(D) per core
L2 Cache: 1MB per core</pre>

postgres with a inferior hardware has better performance than DB2 <span

I think this result will be useful for performance discussions of
postgresql against other databases.
