1) Linux doesn't track shared pages (which is not the same as shared memory) anymore--the field the in 'free' output is just there to avoid breaking software. Use the 'ipcs' command to list shared memory segments--you'll find Postgres is using what you told it to (otherwise it woudn't start up at all). 2) The -performance list is a good place to find out why queries are running slowly. -Doug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
