    16GB RAM, em network
(Client)
    Same as above

uname's:
FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Nov  4 03:39:53 UTC 2011

Setup notes:
mkdir -p $DESTDIR/pgsql/data
chown -R pgsql:pgsql $DESTDIR/pgsql
su -m pgsql -c 'initdb -D $DESTDIR/pgsql/data'

Edit $DESTDIR/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf and set:
    max_connections=100
    shared_buffers=4096MB
    effective_cache_size=8192MB
    update_process_title = off

Configuration:
Both:
    sysctl -w kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1
    echo "kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

FreeBSD-only:
    # This puts FreeBSD in line with the DragonFly auto-tuned defaults
    sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=11077935104
    sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmall=2704574
    sysctl -w vm.pmap.pv_entry_max=69709312
    echo "kern.ipc.shmmax=11077935104" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
    echo "kern.ipc.shmall=2704574" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
    echo "vm.pmap.pv_entry_max=69709312" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
    # Kill witness
    sysctl -w debug.witness.watch=0
    echo "debug.witness.watch=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
	
Initialize the database:
    createdb -U pgsql pgbench
    pgbench -i -s 500 -U pgsql pgbench # Approx 7GB

Run the tests:
    pgbench -h 127.0.0.1 -U pgsql -S -T 300 -j 2 -c 24 pgbench
    # -T	Amount of time to run (seconds)
    # -j	Number of threads
    # -c	Number of clients (database connections, split among threads)
