The server is running Postgres 8.2.4When the server is doing too much operations like I, U or D the postgres stop a while each 5 min...! I mean "stopping" that I don't receive any response from postgres, and the process the all people are running stay there, waiting for something. I read a several names to it like: gap, stall, slowdown... I don't know the write expression for this situation.
I hope you can help me.
