Most definitely! I'm sorry that copied/pasted the pg_stat_activity
example, I was playing with both. pg_locks is definitely the more
important one, but it might be useful to try to match some of these
locks up against process information as we drill down from the
summary to see examples of what makes up those numbers.

Each half-hour should be fine as long as that gives at least three
or four samples before you are unable to query pg_locks.
