Slowdowns --- specifically, the behavior is "generate next sequential OID, probe index to see if it exists in table, repeat until not". So if you've got a long run of consecutive OIDs in the same table, when the OID counter reaches that point it could take a while to assign the next free OID successfully. This would manifest as a slower than expected INSERT. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
