Re: slow full table update

Hi, 

thank you for your reply.

Here is some aditional information:

the problem is on every tables with small and large rows too.
autovacuum is running.

relpages	reltuples
6213              54743

tables are almost write-only
Munin Graphs shows that problems is with I/O bottleneck.

I found out that
Update 100 rows takes 0.3s
but update 1000 rows takes 50s

Is this better information?

Thanks for any help.

best regards
Marek Fiala
