Memory usage remains consistent, which is to say that postgres is
using most available system memory all the time, as I configured it
to. There is no swapping going on.
It's not clear to me why forcing a WAL checkpoint would help
anything.... but it doesn't matter, as only superusers can do it, so
it's not an option for me. Unless there's a whole other meaning you
were implying....?

So.... why the slowdown? Is it a MVCC thing? A side effect of calling

transaction? Or am I just doing something wrong?
