I just installed pg 7.4.1 on a new system P4, 3.2Gh HT, 1GB Mem, RH9 and discovered that some of the processes have become extremely slow. Mainly I am talking about a SELECT COUNT(*) or VACUUM.
Before running the same database on a P4. 2Ghz 412MB mem, I got the job done in some cases half the time.
The weird thing however is, that normal inserts seem to be much faster on the new system and I am wondering if it is Postgres or HW related.
Does anyone has an advise ?
Thanks Alex
