Hello, Can you find some relation between the memory usage and insert statements? 9.1.2 has memory problems with inserts (even the simplest ones) on Linux and Windows too, I could produce it. Using pgbench also shows it. Some memory is not reclaimed. I could produce it also with 8.4.9 on Linux, I haven't tried 8.4.10 yet.
