Nope. Not in-line.

Yikes. This may be something we do by the end of the year. The client's on SLES9, so we can go as high as they support for SLES9. > > > What's your vacuuming strategy? > > > > We've played around with a lot of them.

Yeah... software rollouts and package updates are generally done in an automated fashion. We'll probably test 8.X as part of our evaluation process. If the sockets don't gain us much/anything, and the new PG version doesn't prove to gain us much, I suppose we'll try to compile the get_message_queue stuff. Any predictions on what we might see for performance without upgrading the PG version? Thanks for your feedback, thus far. It's good to hear what others think about this, as I'm pretty uncertain which direction to concentrate in. I've already got some stuff done on the local sockets.
