Agreed. We're much further behind with this release than ever before, so we need to put the cut somewhere. Once the major features are in, we do need a period of secondary/final tuning. For the *next* release, I would like to plan for a Tuning Month somewhere in the release process. That would allow some formal way of handling this kind of thing, 'cos we seem to hit the "its too late for this kind of change" fairly regularly. Also, the more we tune, the more performance regressions occur, so we'll need to start formally checking for those too. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
