I'm very skeptical of grouping everything that waits using latches as a latch wait, but maybe it's OK to do it that way. I was thinking more of adding categories like "client wait" with events like "client read" and "client write". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
