Does anyone have suggestions for a utility that would easily let us mirror all queries to a "shadow" PG cluster, so that we can compare performance of our current production config against a new proposed config with our actual production traffic?

(We could live with the new one falling behind as long as queries were queued not lost--in fact we know this will happen.)

I am not sure if this would be an acceptable solution for you but there
is an open source utility called pgreplay[1]. Here is the description:

This of course means that you'd need to have a fairly "chatty" log
configuration, but maybe it could work for your needs?

It sure might work; we'll give it a try--hopefully we can log all SQL without filling disk or undue performance hit, we'll see.

PgShark might work for this
