I would try turning hyperthreading off also. Now I turn hyperthreading off and readjust the conf . I found the bulb query that was : update one flag of the table [8 million records which I think not too much] .When I turned this query off everything went fine. I don't know whether update the data is much slower than insert [Postgresql 7.3.2] and how could we improve the update method? Thanks for many helps. Amrit Thailand NB. I would like to give my appreciation to all of the volunteers from many countries who combat with big disaster [Tsunamies] in my country [Thailand]. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
