Hmm, those numbers never got updated for 8.2. The per-backend multiplier is particularly off, since it's not accounting for the in-memory pg_stat_activity array (PgBackendStatus is 1208 bytes on my machine...) Also, you neglected to add the fixed space, which was claimed to be 500K as of 8.1, but seems to have bloated to about 700K in 8.2 and 770K in HEAD. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
