I can't wait until the company I work for grows big enough so we can afford 
Bizgres MPP (The cluster version). It really sounds like it will handle tons 
of data efficiently.

Right now for our, soon to be 500GB+ DB, we got a 16 drive 3U machine with 
8GB of RAM and 2 raid controllers. Anything indexed is great, but once you 
hit a table scan it's another story.. fortunately rarely a table scan gets 
triggered.

I am also looking into postgresql cluster feature. That will be a real 
performance booster.
