I usually have to change the ratio between page and cpu costs toward the other direction. Unless you have carefully measured performance with and without these changes and found a clear win with these, I would recommend going back to the defaults for these three and tuning from there. > fsync = off Only use this if you can afford to lose all data in the database. (There are some situations where this is actually OK, but they are unusual.) As others have stated, though, we'd need more information to really give much useful advice. An EXPLAIN ANALYZE of a query which isn't performing to expectations would be helpful, especially if you include the table definitions (with indexes) of all tables involved in the query. Output from vmstat or iostat with a fairly small interval (I usually use 1) while the query is running would be useful, too. Knowing the exact version of PostgreSQL (like from SELECT version();) would be useful, as well as knowing more about you disk array and controller(s). -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
