But you're right, the definitions are a bit different. Although the OP mentioned he's using ext4, so I suppose he's running Linux (although I know there was some ext4 support e.g. in FreeBSD). Still, the load average 0.88 means the system is almost idle, especially when there's no I/O activity etc. Tomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
