I was gonna tell you to turn off full page writes, but in 8.1 that setting is ignored. For reference, here's the pages that you should look at for this:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-wal.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/wal-configuration.html For 9.1, the same pages: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-wal.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/wal-configuration.html For future reference, if you want to learn more about performance tuning postgresql, Performance PostgreSQL by Greg Smith is THE book to have. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
