One message per second for two hours is 60 * 60 * 2 = 7200 messages. So that's the ballpark we're in right now. In 1 second you are: - spawning a process - connecting to PostgreSQL - reading a message from disk - inserting into Pg - closing Pg connection This sounds pretty reasonable to me. You might consider writing a quick and dirty LMTP client to see how it compares. That would eliminate some of the system dependencies (spawning process, reading uncached file from disk, perhaps a synchronous syslog). Aaron
