We’re running Suse 10.2, PG 8.1.5, PHP 5.2.
We’re seeing high CPU percentages for multiple instances of postmaster: 15 – 30% for each instance. I realize a new instance is spawned for each connection that is opened and we have lots of clients sending very small text messages to our app for which we record a row per message.
We also have other periodic jobs that get kicked off but don’t use near the cpu percentage that postmaster seems to.
Is there a way to minimize postmaster’s cpu usage or is there some way to share that process between requests?
Thx.
