I've got a poorly indexed query and was attempting a quick work around in production by increasing work_mem when it was called. EXPLAIN ANALYZE is telling me this:

Sort Method: external sort  Disk: 1253824kB


So I set the work_mem to 2gb, still going to disk. I read Tom's suggestion here (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1936.1298394...@sss.pgh.pa.us) and went all the way up to 92G or work_mem.

Did more googling and found this reference (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAMkU=1w2y87njueqwn8-hk2kdb4uoihfajxpo1nz3ekhzvb...@mail.gmail.com) to a 1G sort limit that is going to be removed in 9.3.

Am I possibly experiencing the same issue even though I am on 9.3.1? Was it really not fixed until 9.4? (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/557c7213.8000...@joeconway.com)
