Could you show the results for a query like SELECT state, backend_type, wait_event_type, wait_event, count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity GROUP BY 1, 2, 3, 4 ORDER BY count(*) DESC; ? Without knowing the proportion of LockManager wait events compared to the rest it's hard to know what to make of it. > Does anyone have any advice on how to alleviate LockManager’s LWlock issue? It'd be useful to get a perf profile for this. Both for cpu time and for what ends up blocking on kernel-level locks. E.g. something like # cpu time perf record --call-graph dwarf -F 500 -a sleep 5 perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol To send it to the list you can use something like perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol|head -n 500 > somefile # kernel level blocking on locks perf record --call-graph dwarf -e syscalls:sys_enter_futex -a sleep 3 perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol Greetings, Andres Freund
