> It seems to me that the real solution is for me to stop using the database as an IPC system to pass somewhat time-critical data between processes. Given the time constraints I'm working under this unfortunately was the quickest route.

At least for the first 5 minutes. :) I was wondering about that 1,500
updates/second. PostgreSQL is probably not the optimal solution for IPC.

If you are trying to deal with passing this data among machines,
memcached may be a good solution. Pretty easy to configure and clients
for lots of languages. Blazing fast, too.

Steve
