+ 2018-06-29 00:14:05.948 UTC [21711] LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (1 second apart)
+ 2018-06-29 00:14:05.948 UTC [21711] HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter "max_wal_size".
- create extension pg_stat_statements;
+VACUUM is running basically continuously; should prevent that? 6 hours or
+longer on release_rev and release_ref tables. An auto-approve batch method
+would resovle this, I think (no update after insert).
-Regularly want to run:
+max_wal_size wasn't getting set correctly.
- VACUUM ANALYZE
+The statements taking the most time are the complex inserts (multi-table
+inserts); they take a fraction of a second though (mean less than a
+milisecond).
-## Tuning Values
+Manifest import runs really slow if release import is concurrent; much faster
+to wait until release import is done first (like a factor of 10x or more).
