That's still a noticeable slowdown, though. And we've had previous reports of the overhead of logging being significant as well: http://postgr.es/m/caclsapsa7u0gcfpojvqem6sgtekv8vnwdbfhvi+dqo+gu5g...@mail.gmail.com I seem to recall a discussion, perhaps in-person, around the time Theo submitted that patch where it was reported that the logging collector could not be used on some systems he was working with because it became a major performance bottleneck. With each backend writing its own messages to a file, it was tolerable, but when you tried to funnel everything through a single process, the back-pressure slowed down the entire system unacceptably. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
