Here is the Specifications of My Server. I would really appreciate the best configuration of postgresql.conf for my sevrer. I have tried so many value in the parameters but It seems that I cannot get the speed I want. OS: Redhat Linux CPU: Dual Xeon Memory: 6 gigabyte PostgreSQL Version 8.0 Most of my queries are having Order by Clause, and group by clause. Creation of temporary table. The biggest rows is about 3-5 million which I query almost every 5 seconds. I'm just wondering is it normal to have this result in my memory usage: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 6192460 6172488 19972 0 39904 5890824 -/+ buffers/cache: 241760 5950700 Swap: 2096472 0 2096472 What does this mean?
