Hi,

I have a working Slony environment, but I would really appreciate some 
assistance on tuning/configuration for better performance.

My situation is that I have source servers (masters) replicating to one 
archive (slave) server - each of the source servers basically replicates 
one table (which has a unique name) to the archive server.

The problem I am having is that there is a significant number of writes 
(maybe 20-60 rows per second) from each source server into the archive, 
and the large number of small writes is taking a toll on the archive 
server in terms of disk performance.

Is there a way to configure the Slony such that the writes take place in 
a more 'batched' fashion, say writing all the rows from 10-15 seconds 
worth of imports in 1 transaction.  In our situation there is no vital 
need for the archive server to be in tight sync with the source server - 
it could lag by as much as 5 mins without there being a significant problem.

Thanks,

David.
