Bingo, that's surely exactly what was happening to the OP. He had 2000 databases and naptime at (I assume) the default; so he was rerunning rebuild_database_list every 100ms. So that recovery code path needs some more thought. Maybe a lower bound on how often to do rebuild_database_list? And/or don't set adl_next_worker to less than 100ms in the future to begin with? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
