One thing that's been discussed but not yet tried is putting a tunable delay into VACUUM's per-page loop (ie, sleep N milliseconds after each heap page is processed, and probably each index page too). This might be useless or it might be the 80/20 solution you want. Want to try it and report back? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
