If you search for OpenSSI Postgres, you hit this link:

http://wiki.openssi.org/go/PostgreSQ...nabled_Knoppix

I have done this setup and small test on it about an year ago. The
performance was horrible. I cannot say for sure, but I think, as OpenSSI FAQ
mentions it, it's because of the way Postgres works with shared memory.

I hope you find that article useful in starting your own experiment. Lets
hope there's some improvement since last year. Do let us all know the
results.
