Hi all,
I'm trying to work out why my 8.1 system is slower than my 7.4 system
for importing data.
The import is a lot of "insert into" commands - it's a converted
database from another system so I can't change it to copy commands.
My uncommented config options:
autovacuum = off
bgwriter_all_maxpages = 15
bgwriter_all_percent = 10.0
bgwriter_delay = 2000
bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 10
bgwriter_lru_percent = 5.0
checkpoint_segments = 10
commit_delay = 100000
commit_siblings = 500
temp_buffers = 500
wal_buffers = 16
max_connections = 16
shared_buffers = 256
(I was playing around with the bgwriter stuff to see if it made any
differences, so I could be making it worse).
It's a pretty small machine - 2.6GHz with 512M RAM.
My main concern is 7.4 on a smaller machine with less memory is faster
to import this data.
Suggestions on what I need to do would be fantastic, thanks!
