Hi, I am stuck for the moment with 1gig of ram on a win xp machine running a 8.2.3 postgres. With the java website taking 300meg, eclipse taking 250meg+, firefox 150meg+, all of which are going to be nasty to reduce the mem usage of, I am looking at reducing postgres usage (the java website runs on postgres). The db is not really a bottleneck for development, so I am not concerned about reducing things very low. At the moment I have around 10 postgres processes in the taskmanager, 5 of which are taking around 40meg. While the website is very db intensive, I really need to get this down to under 100meg to stop my system starting to swap. Any ideas? I looked at postgresql.conf but don't really know what is going to get the mem usage down when the db is not really being used. Cheers Anton
