This is really a serious issue with the current design of the database,
one that merely changes instead of going away completely if you throw
more hardware at it. I'm perversely glad to hear this is torturing more
people than just me as it improves the odds the situation will improve.
It tortures pretty much any high velocity postgresql db of which there
are more and more every day.
