Thanks; I'd seen the documentation, but not Josh Berkus' testing. For my part, I don't have a large number of concurrent connections, only one. But it is doing large writes, and XLogInsert is number 2 on the profile (with LWLockAcquire and LWLockRelease close behind). I suppose that is expected, but lead by the documentation I wanted to make sure XLogInsert always had some buffer space to play with. --Ian ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
