The flat files are sitting at 1.9 GB right now (the primary email table).
So I'm approaching the point where I can't backup using the COPY command.
I'm probably using the wrong OS for this. But the performance of postgres is
still dazzling me (some people complain about the performance, but when I
see it pick 10,000 rows out of 1.4 million, sort them, and return them in a
second, I'm blown away).
