The view pg_statio_all_tables will show you the number of disk reads and buffer hits per table. There are other statistics views, see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-STATS-VIEWS > Another question is, what is the best memory configuration to > keep more data in cache? That's easy - the greater shared_buffers is, the more cache you have. Another option is to choose shared_buffers not too large and let the filesystem cache buffer the database for you.
