no single thing really stands out -- contention is all over the place. lwlock, pinbuffer, dynahash (especially). I am again suspicious of bad scheduler interaction. any chance we can fire up pgbouncer?
Just want to throw it out there, but we've been having really bad luck with the scheduler recently. But only when we use 8GB (on our 72GB system) for shared_buffers. Cut that down to 4GB, and everything is fine and dandy.
