Justin, Thanks for your continued interest.
I'm running PostgreSQL under AWS Aurora, and I didn't set it up or install it, so I'm not sure about the OS version. I can't run the grep command since I don't know how to get down to the command line on the actual box running Aurora. I just connect to PostgreSQL from either my desktop or an EC2 Linux instance. SQL I entered was: set max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 0; explain (analyze, buffers, settings) select roys_creation_user, count(*) from eu.royalty_with_null group by roys_creation_user; The output is shown earlier in this thread. I have no idea why I have IO timings but not buffers hit/read.
