AFAIK we don't really understand why, but the experimental evidence is that increasing shared_buffers to really large values doesn't help much on Windows. You can probably find more in the archives. I'm not sure that this has been retested recently, so it might be obsolete information, but it's what we've got. 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
