Why do you assume that the cost of normalization query string will be in any way measurable? Especially in comparison do extra cost of doin math on potentially thousands of rows? Best regards, depesz

Resetting the data adds some noticeable overhead as newly added entries will need to generate a normalize query string and so on. What most people do is taking regular snapshots of pg_stat_statements (and other stats) view and then compare the snapshots. There are a few open source projects doing that available.

It may be a bug? pg_stat_statements has all the data since last reset of stats. So if you never reset stats, it accumulated data for howeve rlong you are using pg. Not really surprising that top total-time uses are the same. If you want to sensibly use it you should call reset function every now and then. Best regards, depesz
