Subject: Bug#149056: postgresql: should not try in a busy loop when allocating 
resources
Date: 04 Jun 2002 23:06:35 +0200

Package: postgresql
Version: N/A
Severity: normal

When trying to create a semaphore Postgresql 7.2.1-3 will try 400,000 times per
second if it has problems.  I think this is excessive, trying a mere 100 times
a second will give the same chance of getting a good result without wasting
excessive CPU time.

NB  If another process which is CPU bound is using all the resources then
leaving CPU time free will improve the results...
