It doesn't write out all of RAM, only the amount in use by the particular backend that crashed (plus all the shared segments attached by that backend, including the main shared_buffers, unless you disable that as previously mentioned). And yes, it can take a long time to generate a large core file. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad)
