5) How can I compile for optimal performance?
On SPARC architecture Sun Studio is strongly recommended for
compilation. Try using -xO5 optimalization flag to generate
significantly faster binaries. Do not use any flags which modify
behavior of floating point operations and errno processing (e.g.
-fast). These flags should raise some nonstandard PostgreSQL behavior
for example in the date/time computing.
If you do not reason to use 64-bit binaries on SPARC, prefer 32-bit
version. The 64-bit operations are slower and 64-bit binaries are slower
then 32-bits. And on other side a 32-bit code on the AMD64 CPU family is
not native and that is why 32-bit code is significant slower on this
CPU family.
