[RADIATOR] Radiator 4.9 with Postgres 8.4 on FreeBSD 8.2: Performance Analysis and Tuning

[Traiano Welcome]

Hi List

I'm trying to determine if there might be a performance bottleneck between
my radiator instance and the postgresql database it writes accounting
records to.

1) How would I trace / detect a bottleneck in inserting accounting records
from radiator into Postgresql ? I.e what tools does Radiator provide for
me to analyse this, and are there some guides on how to use them ?

2) What are the configuration options, on the Radiator end of things, for
optimising the communications between Radiator and Postgresql accounting
DB ?

I note that my current Radiator configuration results in only one
connection to the backend postgresql db. Might there be some performance
gains to be made in parallelising connections from radiator to the db? If
so, how would I configure this in Radiator ?

Many thanks in Advance,
