I suspect that moving pg_log onto a separate spindle and/or upgrading your RAID controller to something with a BBU and configured in write-back mode would get most of your performance back. If you aren't running PostgreSQL 8.3, that might also help update performance significantly as well. -Dave -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
