Hi:
I was monitoring the time to perform a complicated
query in psql using "top" command with "s 1" switch.
So the screen is always refreshed after 1 second.
Initially the following state of the psql/postmster
before I started the query
Size RSS Share State %CPU %Mem time Command
3872 3872 3368 S 0 .1 0.0 postmaster
Sometime after the query has finished executing."top"
reported the following state
Size RSS Share State %CPU %Mem time command
11724 11M 11072 S 0 .5 4:27 postmaster
Isn't it suppose to revert back to its orginal state
after the query? I tried to execute a query on a very
small table to see if the settings would change, yet
the settings does not change.
Any idea on this phenomemon?
thank you in advance,
ludwig
