Use to be a lot bigger but we removed all large objects out and developed a file server storage for it, and using default page costs for 8.4, I did have it changed in 8.1.4 You might want to play with lowering them. The default page costs make page accesses expensive relative to per-tuple operations, which is appropriate if you are I/O-bound but not so much if you are CPU bound, and especially if the whole database is memory resident. I'd try something like random_page_cost = seq_page_cost = 0.1 for starters, or whatever values were working for you in 8.1, but the sweet spot may be higher or lower. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
