    Thread summary: the Linux kernel and PostgreSQL
    There is an extensive and ongoing discussion on the PostgreSQL mailing list
    about
    how PostgreSQL and the Linux kernel work together. Mel Gorman has posted a
    detailed summary of what has been talked over so far; it's worth a read for
    anybody interested in database management system performance on Linux. "Josh Berkus claims that most people are using Postgres with 2.6.19 and
    consequently there may be poor awareness of recent kernel developments.
    This is a disturbingly large window of opportunity for problems to have
    been introduced. It begs the question what sort of penetration modern
    distributions shipping Postgres have. More information on why older kernels
    dominate in Postgres installation would be nice.    "
