Hello Julien,
Thank you for your prompt response!
we have changed the checkpoint_segment to 170 and use pigz for the pg_xlog compress.
It is working very well now.
Thanks again!!
Regards,
Samir Magar

You could use pigz which is parallel, that could speed up compression.

this is way to low. If you generate 2000 WAL per hour, you should
configure it to something like 170 (or 5 min average if 2000 is a
spike). It'll perform less checkpoint and also generate less WALs.
