Is true , i recreate the indexes making an index on  (tag_id, data_tag)
and works fine .

I set it to false , for performance tests .I've a stored procedure that
make about 2000 insert in 2 tables and 2000 delete in another and with
fsync false perfomrmance are  2.000 -3.000 ms (stable) with fsync 3.000
ms to 15.000 ms . I trust in my hardware an O.S so fsync setting is a
big dubt for my production enviroment .

Thanks a lot

Then you are making a big mistake, loving your hardware more than your
data...

I'm testing for better performance in insert/delete so i turn off fsync
, i don't love hardware more than data , so i'll set fsync on in the
production enviroment .
Thanks a lot

Best regards
