Perform a vacuum analyze verbose and look at the last few lines. This will tell you whether you need to increase max_fsm_*. Consider lowering random_page_cost so it favoes indexex more often than seq. scans. But if you don't get a decent raid-controller your data will move slow and tuning will only make a minor difference. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.
