Thank you for your feedback!
We tried to enable think time with go-tpc, thanks to @pashkinelfe.
That leaves us with 1 tpmC per connection, growing linearly up to ~300 connections for both heap and OrioleDB. So, in order to experience a storage bottleneck, we would need dozens of thousands of connections. Given PostgreSQL runs a process per connection, that would be more of a stress test for the Linux kernel. Additionally, PostgreSQL requires N^2 of memory depending on the number of connections, and it becomes sensible at this scale. All of that could be resolved by migrating PostgreSQL to co-routines and resolving memory requirement issues. However, this is currently out of scope for us.
Could you recommend another benchmark to reveal storage bottlenecks, given that TPC-B and YCSB are too trivial?
