Thanks for the advice. I'll experiment with higher work_mem settings,
as I am regularly doing sorts on large da

Thanks for the information!
Are there any rule-of-thumb starting points for these values that you
use when setting up servers? I'd at least like a starting point for
testing different values.
For example, I'm sure setting a default work_mem of 100MB is usually
overkill - but is 5MB usually a r

Well, work_mem will depend on your query-load. Queries that do a lot of
sorting should benefit from i
