Here you can find an extract of the log that shows that the proposed
size for grouping is often just 3 and not greater :

The slon parameters used are : -g 1000 -o 0
Any idea to speed up the processing ?
There's something a bit confusing in the logs; it's not affecting how
the grouping is actually working. The "just 3" looks to be when it's
evaluating sync grouping for events coming from *other* nodes than the
provider, which is pretty much irrelevant since those syncs don't lead
to any actual work.
Correct. The 3 or 4 group size is for non origins. The current group
size for node 1, which seems to be the only origin in the system, is
actually 255.
Looks to me like the processing of data from node #1 is working out
about as can be expected on a node that is processing a lot of data.
There may be relevant/material improvements to handling of this in
2.0; I don't think there's anything to be done in terms of
configuration.
I seem to remember that Slony had some problems with large numbers of
sets. Although it seems that in this particular case it only accounts
for 0.3 out of 135 seconds to completely process 255 sync events.
Anyhow, I counted 31 sets with a total of 513 tables which have a
pretty strange pattern. Up to set 29, all the odd set id's have 17
tables while the even set id's have 18 tables. Is this one of those
misdesigned applications that creates a separate set of tables per
user or the like?
we got 30 sets (1 is for an heartbeat table) to be able to spread them
over up to three/four differents masters if needed (one at this time).
The number of tables is a manual partitionning (lot of rows and
performance issues)
Is does not seem to hurt performance as you said, but do you see
anything else ?
