On a dedicated db machine with 2 Gigs of ram 500Meg is fine. I run 768 Meg shared_buffers on a machine that runs postgresql 8.2 and apache/php and routinely have 1Gig of kernel cache on it. So yeah, 200M shared_buffers should be no problem. ---------------------------(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
