    hm .. just ran your benchmark on my personal webserver box
    (fbsd 4.8, t-bird 1000; 512MB ram, two WD800JB w/ 8MB cache
    in a vinum raid1 config, softupdates enabled; pgsql 7.3.2,
    fsync=true, shared buffers=512, max_connections=250 everything
    else default)

    : real 7m17.967s
    : user 0m0.017s
    : sys 0m0.000s

    looking at systat output during the benchmark .. it shows
    quite some heavy disk-io (peaks w/ 660tps and transfers in excess
    of 40MB/s) .. so if your box is falling back to PIO this would
    definately be a reason for the lousy results.

    regards,
    alex.
