Not sure... my benchmark is designed to represent what the database will do under "typical" circumstances, and unfortunately these are typical for the application. However, I can see about adding some delays, though multiple minutes would be absurd in the application. Perhaps a 5-10 second day? Would that still be interesting? > What if, during this pause, you disconnect and reconnect, or restart > the > postmaster, or vacuum, or analyze ? Well, I don't have the numbers any more, but restarting the postmaster has no effect, other than the first few hundreds COPYs are worse than anything (3-4x slower), but then it goes back to following the trend line. The data in the chart for v8.0.3 includes running pg_autovacuum (5 minutes).
