Re: many sessions wait on LWlock WALWrite suddenly

LWLock always shows up in the case where you have too many concurrent active connections.  Do a select from the pg_stat_activity table where state in ('idle in transaction','active'); Then count how many CPUs you have.  If the sql query count returned is greater than 2-3 times the number of CPUs, you probably have a CPU overload problem and your solution may be to add a connection pooler between the client and the DB server.  This is all due to the nature of how PG is architected: every connection is a process, not a thread.
