Only if you redefine the meaning of bgwriter_percent. At present it's defined by reference to the total number of dirty pages, and that can't be known without collecting them all. If it were, say, a percentage of the total length of the T1/T2 lists, then we'd have some chance of stopping the scan early. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
