May 20th is not quite my idea of "HEAD" ;-).  It might be worth checking
current code before investing any think-time on this.  But having said
that, it looks a bit like a planner problem --- if I'm reading the
graphs correctly, I/O wait time goes through the roof, suggesting a
change to a much less efficient plan.
