This is not at all clear from your answer. At most, 1 thread per logical core can execute at any one time. And while many can be waiting on IO instead of executing, there is still a rather low limit to how many threads it takes to saturate IO capacity. If you actually tried to *run* 550 processes at the same time, you'd just be wasting time on contention.

So, back to the question I just asked a minute ago in the prior email, do you have any idea how many pg connections are actually being used?
