Hi,

I am running into some issues that seem related to the current database
file size.

 

Our application is periodically saving about 150MB of data to the
database. Starting around the 30th interval or so, the time to insert
the data grows significantly - it initially goes up by 3-4x but then
each subsequent save cycle continues to grow eventually leading to
performance that is 20x slower than it is at the beginning.

 

Some of the changes I have tried: 

-          larger transactions i.e. more inserts coalesced into one
"giant" transaction

-          changing the default_cache_size to 20000 

 

My next thought was to try "VACUUM"ing the database after each save
cycle (cause I am seeing extensive disk fragmentation). However, I am
not sure if that will eliminate the drastic performance degradation.

 

Our application is running on Windows XP (Core 2 Duo with 2G of RAM and
200GB hard drive)

 

Would appreciate any pointers....

 

Thanks.
