hello,i would dump+restore cycle the database without bothering you, hoping that that would solve my problem, but then i though i wouldn't learn anything out of it, nor you would have the chance to potentially trace a problem/bug thus help the community.
after reading this guide: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions
i decided to seek for your help.
my problem is that the same query/function some times run fast/normal (as expected) and, recently like 5 days now, some/most of the times, it run really slow to _very_ slow.
the query is in essence a very simple update on a balance of _a certain user_ (no other user has this issue). yes, this user has the most frequent updates to his balance.
i've tried restarting,manual vacuuming (with analyze full etc or not), reindex the database with no improvement. also it's not a hardware problem. diagnostics run fine and no kernel messages or anything weird/unexpected. the load of the machine is also low (like 0.2).
so, without further due:
