We have a 4x 2.4ghz Opteron box w/ 8 gigs of ram running a very busy pg
8.1.4 server. Upon startup we see around 15-20 "statistics buffer is
full" messages and they repeat at random times throughout the day.
During peak times the box sometimes seems to grind to a halt. Any thoughts?

Do you have

stats_command_string=on

in postgresql.conf as that might cause this error.

If it is truned on please turn it off and then try starting your server.

Thanks,

Oops, knew I forgot something. Here are the settings from our
postgresql.conf I beilive it's set to allow autovac to work and nothing
else.

# - Query/Index Statistics Collector -

stats_start_collector = on
stats_command_string = off
stats_block_level = off
stats_row_level = on
#stats_reset_on_server_start = off
