What are the ideal settings for values in this postgresql.conf file??? I have tried so many parameter changes but I still can not get the 8.1.4 version to perform as well as the 7.x version...what do others have their postgrsql.conf file values set to??? Are there any known performance degrades going from 7.x to 8.1 versions???
Before spending any more time on tuning, upgrade at the very least to the latest 8.1.X version. Or since you're upgrading anyway, why not upgrade to latest 8.2.X version while you're at it. There's been plenty of planner changes between those releases.
