Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Description:

During heavy database loading, "pgstat wait timeout" is showing up in the
logs. When this happens pgstat.stat file stop updating. Stats in
pg_stat_user_tables also stop updating. Resulting in autovacuum not
triggering and greatly degrades performs. Killing the stats collection
process causing it to re-spawn does not help, as it will quickly go back
into the same state without any new stats collected.
