If this is the case, and they're just too big to fit in memory, then you need to move your temp space, where sorts happen, onto another disk array that isn't your poor overworked raid-10 array. Contention between sorts and reads can kill performance quick, esp on spinning rust. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
