That sounds like complete nonsense. Those processes don't execute queries. It's true that they'll continue to do I/O work for some time after queries have executed in other processes, but that's normal. I say again that you haven't offered any evidence of having a problem to solve. If you don't want the database to be consuming any cycles at all, then you should shut it down. But if you want it to do useful work, it's designed to spread out that work, not necessarily to do it all before a query returns results to the client. regards, tom lane
