Hi Moritz, Stefan (and Marcus if you’re around?) Every day is a new day. Not IOPs, Not memory, Not CPU… Hmm, how about reboot... As you have suspected, I get no benefit from additional CPUs. Are you sure the problem is CPU-bound ? I started by testing v.net (the maintenance module) in

Getting closer to the bottom of this. On AWS, problems occur once I scale beyond 16 CPUs. c3.4xlarge (16 CPUs, 30GB memory), v.net scales linearly c3.8xlarge (32 CPUs, 60GB memory), v.net doesn't scale AT ALL - the same as having single CPU. I don’t believe its a pg issue, as I run loads of
