Yes, we cannot reuse them until next VACUUM. But I think it is a problem that FSMs keep being scanned after they are almost empty. In such a case, most stored pages are touched whenever new pages are requested. I intended to cut FSMs earlier in order to omit the scans. --- ITAGAKI Takahiro NTT Cyber Space Laboratories ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
