[[PageOutline]] = Performance = == Ingestion measurements == Below are the results of ingesting one dataset using various tilings and postgres parameters. The dataset is 150 png rgb images of size 1024x608, so that each image is 1867776 bytes uncompressed, or 280 MB. === Regular tiling === || '''Tiling scheme''' || '''Tile size''' || '''Import time''' || '''DB size before''' || '''DB size after''' || '''BLOBs size''' || '''BLOBs size2''' || || 0:31,0:31,0:149 || 460800 || 84 minutes || 184M || '''18404M''' || 267 MB || 18 GB || = PostgreSQL tips = == Total size of BLOBs == BLOBs are stored in the `pg_largeobject` in postgres.
