I am fine with a postmaster-start-time configuration option. It is not as flexible as I would like, but would serve the immediate need and keep me from having to patch every release of Postgres we install on boxes. The load on our production servers really prohibits any kind of processing of the log files locally. We have tried using several log shipping methods to process the logs on a machine with fewer running processes. These large queries are generated by a third party tool that we have very limited control over. Some of the queries captured are as large 16K. The queries are poorly written/generated.
