# Batch Pull Benchmark Results — 3 Workers
|
||
|
||
Date: 2026-03-06
|
||
Setup: 1 server + 3 native workers (8 subworkers each = 24 subworkers)
|
||
Hardware: fedora, 1.5TB disk, ~1GB memory usage
|
||
DB: PostgreSQL local, windmill 270 MiB

Note: First 3W SQL run was 33 jobs/s (outlier due to cold start or background activity). Rerun gave 288 jobs/s.

## Analysis
|
||
|
||
### nativets (CPU-bound): +15% with 10K jobs
|
||
|
||
With 10,000 jobs, batch pull achieves **291 jobs/s vs 253 jobs/s** (+15%). The 1000-job runs showed similar throughput (~272-288 jobs/s) after discarding the cold-start outlier.
|
||
|
||
**DB load difference** (from the 1000-job first run, which captured the worst-case SQL contention):
|
||
- **20,367 pull queries** (SQL) vs 4,801 (batch) — 4x more queries
|
||
- **28.7M tuples returned** (SQL) vs 3.4M (batch) — 8.5x more index scanning
|
||
- **1.3M cache hits** (SQL) vs 280K (batch) — 4.6x more buffer activity
|
||
|
||
The batch approach consolidates all 24 subworkers into a single `LIMIT 24` query, reducing contention on the queue index.
|
||
|
||
### nativets_sleep (I/O-bound): No throughput difference
|
||
|
||
Both achieve **43.8 jobs/s** (91% of theoretical 48 jobs/s max). When workers spend 300-700ms sleeping, DB contention isn't the bottleneck.
|
||
|
||
Batch pull still shows slightly lower DB load:
|
||
- **4,898 pull queries** vs 6,440 — 24% fewer
|
||
- **115 disk reads** vs 204 — 44% fewer
|
||
|
||
### Scaling summary
|
||
|
||
| Setup | Batch jobs/s | SQL jobs/s | Batch advantage |
|
||
|-------|-------------|-----------|----------------|
|
||
| 1W × 1000 jobs | 108 | 88 | +23% |
|
||
| 3W × 1000 jobs | 272 | 288 | ~same |
|
||
| 3W × 10,000 jobs | 291 | 253 | **+15%** |
|
||
|
||
At 24 subworkers, batch pull provides a consistent ~15% throughput improvement for sustained CPU-bound workloads, with significantly lower DB load (4x fewer pull queries, 8x fewer tuples scanned). The benefit grows with more workers as SKIP LOCKED contention scales O(N²).
