Worst possible case :-( ... means that we wouldn't get much improvement without addressing both aspects. It strikes me however that this does put some urgency into the question of how much per-relation FSM is going to cost us. For short-lived temp tables the FSM is never going to have any usefulness at all, but in the current HEAD code it'll double the create/unlink load. Heikki, would it be reasonable to fix things so that a nonexistent FSM fork is semantically the same as an empty one, and not create FSM until there's actually something to put in it? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
