Quick added note, sorry.
"checkpoint_completion_target (floating point)
Specifies the target length of checkpoints, as a fraction of the
checkpoint interval. The default is 0.5. This parameter can only be
set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line. "
interesting that it's a .5 second default setting and I'm seeing
exactly that .5 second delay.
Again could be reaching here!
Thanks for putting up with me
