As a simple example of running a test, you could execute only the SELECT test for a small number of transactions. Here's a quick test from the sample server:
$ pgbench -S -c 4 -t 20000 pgbench starting vacuum...end. transaction type: SELECT only scaling factor: 10 query mode: simple number of clients: 4 number of threads: 1 number of transactions per client: 20000 number of transactions actually processed: 80000/80000 tps = 17070.599733 (including connections establishing) tps = 17173.602799 (excluding connections establishing)
This is simulating the situation where four database clients are all active at the same time and continuously asking for data. Each client runs until it executes the requested number of transactions. ...
