Hi I am working with version 9.1.9. The dabase is in archiving mode. The
archives are then sended to a hotstandby replication sever.
I have seen that under heavy load, the archive process will fall behind the
WAL generation and thuse some WAL segments won't get archived so the
replication stops. To recover from this I need to do a new cold backup and
send it to the replication server. Is there a way to limit the WAL
generation (i.e slowing down insterts and deletes) so as to prevent the
archive from falling behind?

Thanks!!
