Over a short period of time, this is my incoming federation activity for new comments. pg_stat_statements output being show. It is interesting to note these two INSERT statements on comments differ only in the DEFAULT value of language column. Also note the average execution times is way higher (4.3 vs. 1.28) when the language value is set, I assume due to INDEX updates on the column? Or possibly a TRIGGER?
About half of the comments coming in from other servers have default value.
WRITES are heavy, even if it is an INDEX that has to be revised. So INSERT and UPDATE statements are important to scrutinize.
Speaking of language overhead, pg_stat_statements shows this particular SELECT statement returning almost 2000 rows per execution (if I’m interpreting the row count correctly).
The statement has been executed 1313 times, that number is far lower than the 3000 comment INSERT statements, so it isn’t per comment. I have 803 + 703 INSERT into the post table, so that doesn’t match.
Oh, ok, 186 times a similar SELECT is being run that has a high number of rows returned per execution:
1313 + 186 = 1499. 803 + 703 = 1506 post inserts (there may be more variations of each statement). It could be once per post INSERT?
I suspect these two SQL statements are supposed to have a WHERE site_id clause on them. Can someone help identify in the Rust code why incoming federation of comments/posts is running this query over and over, but not per-comment or per-post, but something less?
