But my initial question was about a query that does not produce data at
all (well, a response from the server saying it is finished). I broke
that query off after several hours.
I am now running the query from my initial question with psql (now for
>1 hour, in a transaction, fsyn off).
Some statistics :
uptime:
06:35:55 up 9:47, 6 users, load average: 7.08, 7.21, 6.08
iostat -x -k 1 (this output appears to be representative):
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
