I am trying to diagnose a slowness issue in some of my databases. I think the issue is due to a hardware/network upgrade over the weekend, but like all dba's, I have to prove it.
Right now, I have almost all commits being issues taking between 1 and 5 seconds to complete. The can take as long as 20 seconds. What exactly happens when a commit is issues to PostgreSQL? Is there a way to trace what is going on internally? I do have a large process that I can start that will run many transactions during a single session. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris PG 8.1.3 RH 4.0 AS
