Yeah, it's difficult to believe that multixact stuff could form a noticeable fraction of the total WAL load, except perhaps under really pathological circumstances, because the code just isn't supposed to be exercised often. So I don't think this is worth pursuing. Paolo's free to try to prove the opposite of course ... but I'd want to see numbers not speculation. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
