After a bit of archives-digging, I think you must be remembering this thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-01/msg00074.php which was considering not only abandoning the intermediate buffer process, but abandoning the assumption that it's OK to drop messages under load. We might or might be ready to go that far, but it's worth re-reading and reflecting --- see particularly Jan's comment at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-01/msg00088.php regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
