The same is being requested from different sessions . So why is it not being cached .
Because the query results are not cached only the RAW tables are. The query is rerun every time it is requested.
What is the group by clause accomplishing???
The sorting and hash Aggregate is eating up all the time
work_mem = 51024 # min 64, size in KB
Thats allot memory dedicated to work mem if you have 30 connections open this could eat up 1.5gigs pushing the data out of cache.
