Postgresql strikes back

We had perl-scripts hammering millions of new rows into our newly designed DB-Server, many of them running in parallel. The DB-Server strikes back now: It's running a postgres-thread eating up around 1 Gig RAM and 90 percent cpu-time. I don't know what's happening deep inside the db, i don't even know how to find out. i'm learning new stuff everyday but i'm still far from beeing a postgresql-geek.

I suspended the perls, giving postgres a few hours to sort things out.
I'm praying for a smll little knowledgable ghost helping out with database-design and operating. But I'm afraid I'll have to keep learning by failing, the hard way.

You need to apply the Highlander solution ("there can be only one") to your Perl program. See http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col54.html for the details.
