These say to wait 200ms every few pages. That makes sense if you want to run vacuum without having it slow down the production system but, yes, it will make it take a lot longer than if you don't have these set so high. You can set these locally in your session before running vacuum if you want to run vacuum manually faster than the normal autovacuum times. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/runtime-config-resource.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-RESOURCE-VACUUM-COST -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
