May be helpful to add on some memory information to my question:
shared_buffers - 250MB
work_mem - 75 MB
maintenance_work_mem - 100MB
max_fsm_pages - 1500000
wal_buffers - 96
checkpoint_segments - 32
And some information on the machine (VMWARE)
ipcs -l
------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 4194303
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 1073741824
min seg size (bytes) = 1
This is the only process running on this virtual machine.
Thanks,
Mark
