I didn't see iostat as available to install, but I'm using dstat to see this. The server has constant disk reads averaging around 50M and quite a few in the 60M range. This is when selects are being done, which is almost always. I would think if postgres is grabbing everything from memory that thi

I have some queries that have significan't slowed down in the last couple days. It's gone from 10 seconds to over 2 mins. The cpu has never gone over 35% in the servers lifetime, but the load average is over 8.0 right now. I'm assuming this is probably due to disk io. I need some help setting up

[PERFORM] how much mem to give postgres?

2004-10-19 Thread Josh Close
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to get my postgres server moving faster. It's just crawling right now. It's on a p4 HT with 2 gigs of mem. I was thinking I need to increase the amount of shared buffers, but I've been told "the sweet spot for shared_buffers is usually on the order of 100
