The standard TPC-B-like test pgbench runs is not even remotely like what
Drupal will do on your server. It's almost a write-only test--the few
things that are read in are also being written.

I'd suggest you explore pgbench using the "-S" flag (or what
pgbench-tools calls select.sql) to generate select-only loads at various
sizes and client counts to get an idea what your server is going to do
on loads more like a web application.
