Hi all, I am trying to work out why a piece of software, Mapnik, is executing slowly. All it is doing is loading a config file which causes about 12 preparation queries (i.e. with LIMIT 0) to be executed. I can see from pg_stat_statements these only take ~1ms in their totality. So next I ran "perf record -a -g sleep 0.4" and quickly loaded my PHP page to start the process (I am interfacing with mapnik via a PHP Extension), this is a sample of the result: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4375326/14836015/08b0a8b4-0c05-11e6-96e5-f1836497cdfe.png The PHP page returns in ~60ms (well within the 400ms used for the perf recording). If possible, please can anyone with more familiarity with perf and Postgres tell me whether the result of the recording looks healthy? I am wondering if there is some problem with the way in which Mapnik is implementing libpq -- I already moved from Mapnik 2.2 because it was effectively DOSing Postgres by leaving client connections open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
