I currently have max_connections set to 300, however if i think about it we will never have that many connections (more like 50 - 100 at most).
Cheers,
Andy

you have, this might be a little large, but it's not terrible. Make
sure you aren't running your machine low on spare memory, as this can
cause the machine to start swapping and make it run slower.
Maybe a little high. most people find that 10 is just fine to keep

vacuum from slamming your I/O bandwidth.
Setting a short commit delay may allow for more siblings to get

Sure. What's your max connections set to?
