[Pgpool-general] pgpool II and loads

[Jacob Olsen]

Hi,

I installed pgpool II on four webservers last night and set it to open
80 connections each to two database servers.

My question is, what causes a huge spike in the load on webservers? I'm
seeing loads > 15 in top, which I never saw before pgpool.

Some more info:

Each postgresql installation is set to handle 350 connections, and I've
verified only 80 are being opened from each webserver on each database
server.

Thanks so much to anyone that can help!
