Where I would start, though, is by checking the level of bloat. One long-running query under load, or one query which updates or deletes a large number of rows, can put you into this state. If you find serious bloat you may need to schedule a maintenance window for aggressive work (like CLUSTER) to fix it. Even before that, however, I would spend some time looking at the patterns of I/O under `vmstat 1` or `iostat 1` to get a sense of where the bottlenecks are. If you time-stamp the rows from vmstat you can match them up against events in your log and periods of slow response. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
