You're not alone. At first I was assuming that it was because of
archiving, but the OP says that's turned off. Unless it had been on
and there wasn't a *restart* after changing the configuration, I
can't see how this could happen, and was hoping someone else could
cast some light on the issue.
The one setting that gave me pause was:
commit_siblings=200
but it doesn't seem like that should matter with:
commit_delay=0;
