Any comment ?
I can give you also some details about database usage of my application:
- number of active connections: about 60
- number of idle connections: about 60
Here some number from a mine old pgfouine report:
- query peak: 378 queries/s
- select: 53,1%, insert 3,8%, update 2,2 %, delete 2,8 %
The application is basically a web application and the db size is 37 GB.
Is there a way to have the number of queries per second and the percentages of select/update/insert/delete without pgfouine ?
What is the performance impact of stats_start_collector = on and stats_row_level = on (they are on since I use autovacuum)
Thanks a lot for your help.

I will run pgbench in the next days.
Aside from all the advice here about system tuning, as a system admin I'd also ask is the box doing the job you need? And are you looking at the Postgres log (with logging of slow queries) to see that queries perform in a sensible time? I'd assume with the current performance figure there is an issue somewhere, but I've been to places where it was as simple as adding one index, or even modifying an index so it does what the application developer intended instead of what they ask for ;)
I already checked postgres log and resolved index/slow queries issues. Actually I have queries that sometime are really fast, and sometime go in timeout.
But all the required indexes are there. For sure, there are space to improve performances also in that way, but I would like also to investigate issue from other point of views (in order to understand also how to monitor the server).
Cheers and thanks a lot.
