Re: 9.4 -> 9.5 regression with queries through pgbouncer on RHEL 6 - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi all.

We have found that queries through PgBouncer 1.7.2 (with transaction pooling) to local PostgreSQL are almost two times slower in 9.5.3 than in 9.4.8 on RHEL 6 hosts (all packages are updated to last versions). Meanwhile the problem can’t be reproduced i.e. on Ubuntu 14.04 (also fully-updated).

Here is how the results look like for 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6. All are built from latest commits on yesterday in

* REL9_4_STABLE (a0cc89a28141595d888d8aba43163d58a1578bfb),

* REL9_5_STABLE (e504d915bbf352ecfc4ed335af934e799bf01053),

* master (6ee7fb8244560b7a3f224784b8ad2351107fa55d).

All of them are build on the host where testing is done (with stock gcc versions). Sysctls, pgbouncer config and everything we found are the same, postgres configs are default, PGDATA is in tmpfs. All numbers are reproducible, they are stable between runs.

Shortly:

OS PostgreSQL version TPS Avg. latency

RHEL 6 9.4 44898 1.425 ms

RHEL 6 9.5 26199 2.443 ms

RHEL 6 9.5 43027 1.487 ms

Ubuntu 14.04 9.4 67458 0.949 ms

Ubuntu 14.04 9.5 64065 0.999 ms

Ubuntu 14.04 9.6 64350 0.995 ms

You could see that the difference between major versions on Ubuntu is not significant, but on RHEL 9.5 is 70% slower than 9.4 and 9.6.

Below are more details.

RHEL 6:

Ubuntu 14.04 (the same hardware):

In both tests (RHEL and Ubuntu) the bottleneck is performance of singe CPU core which is 100% consumed by PgBouncer. If pgbench connects to postgres directly I get the following (expected) numbers:

postgres@pgload05g ~ $ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/pgbench -U postgres -T 60 -j 64 -c 64 -S -n 'host=localhost port=5432'

Compilation options look almost the same:

# RHEL 6

CFLAGS = -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g -O2

# Ubuntu

CFLAGS = -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -g -O2

Attached are a simple script to deploy the testing environment (PgBouncer should be installed) and pgbouncer config. I could provide any other needed information like backtraces or perf reports or anything else.

<pgbouncer.ini>

<deploy.sh>
