Folks,

I turned on temp file logging for PostgreSQL to see if I needed to
adjust work_mem.  Oddly, it's logging file usage up to 33 times per
executed query (and no, the query isn't large enough to need 33 separate
sorts).

Are you sure there's not a sort happening inside a loop? It might help
if you posted the actual log messages along with the output of `EXPLAIN
ANALYZE' on your query.

Hmmm, it's possible. The sort sizes seem very large for the query in question, though. Will have to check when I get back on the system.

That would make a TODO in tempfile logging though ... it would be *far* more useful to colect summary stats per query than log each individual sort.
