> If you really want to profile this, you should fire it off in a tight loop, using wget or ab2 or curl. Thanks Jeff, that sounds like a smart idea. I will try later when I have access to the server. >Hi! What do you want to see in perf stats? Maybe you can explain your problem more in details? Hi Alex ) I am hoping to find out which function calls are taking the longest because to the code is taking too long to only parse a small XML file and do a few quick database queries. The last version of this software was able to do a lot more in the same period of time. I realise this most likely a client software issue but was hoping it may be obvious whether Mapnik is spending too much time with Postgres. Unfortunately I may just have to try again to build Mapnik from source so that I can get debugging/profiling output, etc. -- I was hoping to avoid it because it is quite painful. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
