Re: Resource management in 7.4

Personally I think that configuring things like that is definitely 
beyond the scope of an average administrator.

However, there is one thing which would be useful for many applications: 
It would be nice if there was a way to renice a connection. When it 
comes to reporting it would be nice to have a handle for slowing a 
backend down.

A patch for Linux would be quite easy ("SELECT nice_backend(int)") but I 
don't know how this fits into the Windows port and PostgreSQL on other 
platforms.

I think this would be a straight forward approach fixing most of the 
problems people might have with CPU usage.

Is this the right way to go?
