Greetings, I'm running a PostgreSQL 9.3.0 cluster (1 master with two streaming replication hot standby slaves) on RHEL6-x86_64. Yesterday I upgraded from 9.2.4 to 9.3.0, and since the upgrade I'm seeing a significant performance degradation. PostgreSQL simply feels slower. Nothing other than the version of PostgreSQL changed yesterday. I used pg_upgrade to perform the upgrade, and ran the generated analyze_new_cluster.sh immediately afterwards, which completed successfully. Prior to the upgrade, I'd generally expect a load average of less than 2.00 on the master, and less than 1.00 on each of the slaves. Since the upgrade, the load average on the master has been in double digits (hitting 100.00 for a few minutes), and the slaves are consistently above 5.00. There are a few things that are jumping out at me as behaving differently since the upgrade. vmstat processes waiting for runtime counts have increased dramatically. Prior to the upgrade the process count would be consistently less than 10, however since upgrading it hovers between 40 & 60 at all times. /proc/interrupts "Local timer interrupts" has increased dramatically as well. It used to hover around 6000 and is now over 20k much of the time. However, I'm starting to suspect that they are both symptoms of the problem rather than the cause. At this point, I'm looking for guidance on how to debug this problem more effectively. thanks -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
