Wow, 50 hours to apply the changes from a day. I would be interested in having a wiki page to compare the typical runtime. It would help a lot to determine what performance to expect from a machine and to compare the own setup, so discover misconfiguration better. In case we could get some comparable results I would set up a wiki page. Here my measurements again. I did run an incremental update: *** Old mapnik db timestamp 2009-09-07T07:00:00Z *** Start update 08:37 INFO: Osmosis Version 0.31.2 osm2pgsql SVN version 0.66-16423M Mid: pgsql, scale=100, cache=3800MB, maxblocks=486401*8192 Node stats: total(3264066), max(489240074) Way stats: total(106990), max(40421741) Relation stats: total(2780), max(233957) *** End update 15:52 *** New mapnik db timestamp 2009-09-08T06:00:00Z So that are 435 minutes. i7 920, 12GB, HW-Raid with high sequential speed I tried to tune the DB with these settings (others are default): effective_cache_size 8000MB random_page_cost 6.0 maintenance_work_mem 2000MB shared_buffers 2000MB temp_buffers 100MB work_mem 100MB max_fsm_pages 204800 fsync off wal_buffers 128kB checkpoint_segments 64 autovacuum off With databases that huge as ours I suspect the disk subsystem being the limiting factor. What would be a typical workload so to set up an iometer (www.iometer.org) bench to compare the results?
