OK, either tape sort is broken or trace_sort is. The larger my maint_work_mem, the MORE tapes it wants to use: LOG: begin index sort: unique = f, workMem = 4194304, randomAccess = f LOG: switching to external sort with 14980 tapes: CPU 33.33s/24.23u sec elapsed 58.86 sec LOG: begin index sort: unique = f, workMem = 131072, randomAccess = f LOG: switching to external sort with 469 tapes: CPU 1.87s/1.48u sec elapsed 3.47 sec -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
