I think we must blame bgwriter then. I had a look at it some time ago to how hard would it be to remove the useless wakeups and concluded that it wasn't really worth the trouble. Not that I looked that hard; probably someone smarter (and/or with more time) can find ways to optimize it. See BgWriterNap in http://git.postgresql.org/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/backend/postmaster/bgwriter.c (Note that with the current code, you can put it to rest for 10 seconds at a time by setting bgwriter_lru_maxpages to 0 in postgresql.conf) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
