You're welcome, any time. As for the hard drives, can you upgrade to a pair of SSDs? If your data set fits on (and will continue to fit on) SSDs, the performance gained from SSDs is HUGE and worth a few hundred extra for the drive. Note that you want to use the Intel enterprise stuff that survives power loss, not the cheap low end SSDs. May be an easy fix for your hosting company and a big performance gain. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
