Hi all -

        We are running postgres 9.0 ( 32 bit ) + postgis 1.5.2 on Solaris Sparc 
M5000 with 64GB .  Recently we are getting CPU utilitzation to 99% .

In the config file


shared_buffers=2GB.
work_mem = 128MB
effective_cache_size=48GB
maintaince_work_mem= 500MB
max_connections = 300

When the CPU spikes happens, when I look at the pg_stat_activity log, the queries 
where current_query not like '%<IDLE>%' are between 100-110.

Do you think , I have to reduce the effective_cache and work_mem for this?

Thanks for your help.

My guess would be you are running queries that dont use indexes, so its table 
scanning, and the tables all fit in memory.

You should run "explain analyze" on some of your queries and make sure you have 
good indexes.

You could also log slow queries, which might give some hints.

I would doubt it.
