If that isn't entirely useless, you need a better kernel. The system should *certainly* be bright enough to do read-ahead for our reads of the source xlog file. The fetches that are likely to be problematic are the ones for pages in the data area, which will be a lot less regular for typical workloads. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
