I think the max_fsm_pages is a minimum recommendation, so you might want to look at VACUUM VERBOSE output after setting it, to see if an even higher value is indicated > those are the config values present in the postgresql.conf > > shared_buffers = 1000 > work_mem = 8192 if you have got a lot of memory, you might want to experiment with these a little gnari
