- The window to run ANALYZE usefully is pretty short.  If you run it
- before the load is complete, your stats will be wrong.  If you run it
- after the select statements that hit the table are planned, the
- updated stats won't arrive in time to do any good.

right, but i'm loading 20 million records in 1000 record increments. so
the analyze should affect all subsequent increments, no?

- I think you need to find a way to identify exactly which query is
- running slowly.  You could sit there and run "select * from
- pg_stat_activity", or turn on log_min_duration_statement, or have your
- application print out timestamps at key points, or some other
- method...

I'm on it.
