Pg Performers, This might be a out of the ordinary question, or perhaps I have been out of the loop for a while but does PostgreSQL (or any other database) have support for lazy index updates. What I mean by lazy index updates is index updating which occur at a regular interval rather than per transaction.
I have found that inserts and updates tend to slow down when the database gets really big. I think it is likely an effect of updating indexes when the insert or update occurs. Looking forward to feedback and possibly direction on my lazy index update question.
