Re: postgres 7.4 at 100% - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hi all,

I upped effective_cache to 16000 KB and I could only up the
shared_buffers to 3000.  Anything more and postgres would not start.

Postmaster is still using lots of CPU.  pg_stat_activity shows only
query is happening at a time so the requests are probably queueing on
this one thread. Is this the right way to go?

Any other suggestions for me to figure out why Postmaster is using so much CPU?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

numnet=# select * from pg_stat_activity;
 datid | datname | procpid | usesysid | usename |

                             current_query

                      |          query_start

Hello,

Not to mention upping your effective_cache.

    This is ridiculously low for any kind of production server.  Try
something like 5000-10000 for a start.
