Hi,

in March there was an interesting discussion on the list with the
subject "postgres eating CPU on HP9000".

Now I'm the same problem on a Dell dual processor machine.

Anybody know if there was a solution?

Thanks

Piergiorgio

Aha, this one.   Yeah, I believe that they upgraded to 7.4 inorder to deal
with REINDEX issues.

Reviewing that, the problem is most likely that (a) they didn't have
max_fsm_pages set high enough to cover the database, and (b) they were
running 7.3.* which is prone to index bloat.
