Logging at debug5, hopefully it will mean more to you than to me. Local connection connects and I quit in a few seconds. -h localhost takes 90+ seconds to be closed by the server. In the longer duration there is a lot more logged, seems like unrelated auto chatter. I turned autovacuum off in postgresql.conf in the hope that it would reduce the chatter, seems unsuccesful. psql -Umyuser -dmydb 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST DEBUG: forked new backend, pid=5923 socket=12 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST [unknown] LOG: connection received: host=[local] 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: postgres child[5923]: starting with ( 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: postgres 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: ) 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: InitPostgres 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: my backend ID is 2 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: StartTransaction 2015-07-22 12:00:51.175 CEST myuser [local]DEBUG: name: unnamed;
