I don't think it change my overall advice -- if you see zero swaps in or out under load, I wouldn't worry about it. We tried configuring our servers to prevent such things, and under careful benchmarking the effort slightly reduced performance. Probably because we were using RAM to hold stuff we didn't need instead of allowing it to be used for OS caching. I know some people are fanatic about keeping that swap number at zero, but in our case it turns out to be best to let the OS do its thing. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
