Does your machine really have so many processors or i/o bandwidth that 256 postgres processes can really all make progress? Or do you have images and static html on the same web server? If so I suggest moving them to another web server. No need to have a postgres instance (and a php instance) sitting idle consuming memory waiting until someone happens to hit a dynamic page. -- greg
