Re: postgresql latency & bgwriter not doing its job

Hello Andres,

[...]

I think you're misunderstanding how spread checkpoints work.

Yep, definitely:-) On the other hand I though I was seeking something "simple", namely correct latency under small load, that I would expect out of the box.

What you describe is reasonable, and is more or less what I was hoping for, although I thought that bgwriter was involved from the start and checkpoint would only do what is needed in the end. My mistake.
