I don't mind the long delay as long as we have a choice as we clearly do in this case to set vacuum_page_delay=WHATEVER. Of course, if VACUUM can be improved with better code placement for the delays or buffer replacement policies then I'm all for it. Right now, I'm pretty satisfied with the responsiveness on large DBs using vacuum_page_delay=10ms delay.
Any ideas if this patch will be included into 7.4 before final release? Stephen "Andrew Dunstan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Not surprising, I should have thought.
