As I understand it, there is postgres.exe process per connection. Perhaps
you could reduce the dozens of of processes by doing some connection
pooling. I'm using postgresql as the db for a J2EE app on 2000. My J2EE
platform does connection pooling for me and I never get more than 4
postgres.exe processes.
Also, what kind of "vacuuming" do you do? Just curious.
