Yes I did. That's what the --truncate-before-load switch does (or should do).

Well, it doesn't seem to be having any effect.  Maybe Stefan is testing
a configuration with xlog archiving enabled?


heh no log archiving - I actually said that I'm now playing with --truncate-before-load which seems to cause a noticeable performance (as in IO generated) increase but I still see >130000 context switches/s and a profile that looks like:
