Is salesdb.liveperson.intents a view ? What is the query plain for that query ?

It looks like that query did a seq scan and accessed a large number of tuples (and pages from "shared_buffers"), which the OS then shows as part of that processes memory, even though *shared* buffers are not specific to that one process. -- Justin
