Re: [PERFORM] [ADMIN] syslog slowing the database?

[Gavin M. Roy]

Might want to look at metalog, it does delayed writes, though ultimately 
your issue is io bound and there's not much you can do to reduce io if 
you want to keep syslog logging your pgsql queries and such.

I turned syslog back on and the restore slowed down again.  Turned

We have heard reports before of syslog being quite slow.  What platform
are you on exactly?  Does Richard's suggestion of turning off syslog's
fsync help?
