Subject: drop tempoary table VERY slow

I have a DB where this:

 

select 1 into temporary table x;

runs quickly, but

 

drop table x;

 

takes many seconds to run.

 

I don't know why.

 

But:

 

begin;

select 1 into temporary table x;

abort;

 

is very quick.

 

Note the slow dropping applies to automatic dropping of temporary tables when the connection is closed.

I now "abort" all my query sessions for speed.

 

I cannot reproduce this on "template1" and it has not always been the case for my DB.
