Hi Guillaume,
Now i disable Hyper Threading in BIOS, and "context switch storms"
disappeared. (when i look with command sar -t)
I decreased work_mem parameter to 32768. My CPU load is better. But it
is still too high, in example :
top - 16:27:05 up 9:13, 3 users, load average: 45.37, 43.43, 41.43
Tasks: 390 total, 26 running, 363 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 89.5% us, 9.8% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.2% hi,
0.4% si
Mem: 2076404k total, 2039552k used, 36852k free, 40412k buffers
Swap: 1954312k total, 468k used, 1953844k free, 1232000k cached

Tomorrow morning i plan to add 2Go RAM in order to test difference with
my actual config.
Have you another ideas ?
Best Regards,

Jérôme,
python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for
p in 'sioneb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.split('@')])"
