How did you determine it wasn't enough? As others have stated, you're causing your own slowdown by running vacuum so much on tables that aren't changing. If you have a particular table that needs more frequent vacuums, like a session table or something, maybe just cron that. But autovacuum should be doing it more often than an hour anyway in that case ... -- Alan -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
