Hi all, I was searching tips to speed up/reduce load on a Pg8 app. Thank you for all your suggestions on the matter. Thread is archived here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-performance@postgresql.org/msg18342.html After intensive application profiling and database workload analysis, I managed to reduce CPU load with application-level changes. For database overload in presence of many concurrent transactions, I found that just doing an "ANALYZE" on sensible relations makes the situation better. I scheduled a cron job every hour or so that runs an analyze on the 4/5 most intensive relations and sleeps 30 seconds between every analyze. This has optimized db response times when many clients run together. I wanted to report this, maybe it can be helpful for others out there... :-) -- Cosimo ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
