We have a database running on a 4 processor machine.  As time goes by the IO gets worse and worse peeking at about 200% as the machine loads up.

 

The weird thing is that if we restart postgres it’s fine for hours but over time it goes bad again.

 

(CPU usage graph here http://www.flickr.com/photos/8347741@N02/502596262/ )  You can clearly see where the restart happens in the IO area

 

This is Postgres  8.1.4 64bit.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

Ralph
