Applied back as far as 9.0. Before that code didn't match well enough for it to seem safe to apply without many hours of additional testing. I have confirmed occurences of this problem at least as far back as 9.0 in the wild, where it is causing performance degradation severe enough to force users to stop production usage long enough to manually vacuum the affected tables. The use case is a lot like what Jan described, where PostgreSQL is being used for high volume queuing. When there is a burst of activity which increases table size, and then the queues are drained back to a normal state, the problem shows up. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
