The above is mistaken -- there's no way to disable the mmap() segment in 9.3, other than recompiling with EXEC_BACKEND which is probably undesirable for other reasons. I don't think I had ever heard of that recipe to use huge pages in previous versions; since the win is probably significant in some systems, we could have made this configurable. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
