[Pgpool-general] INSERT slow on one system not on another

Hi

There's a thing you can do without disrupting your live cluster: try to make 
your development environment behave as closely as possible to the live one: 
PXE booting, 2.6.12 kernel, the likes. That would allow you to pinpoint the 
cause of the delay.

As a not-that-unrelated note: I understand that the current behaviour does not 
make much sense, so trying seemingly unrelated changes may lead you to a 
solution.

Regards,

DiegoG
