Postgres CPU usage

Hi all,

I am running postgres7.1 and php4.0. When I do top while running my
query via browser I notice that the postmaster process takes up almost
100% of the CPU and this is just for one user. What would happen if
multiple users does the same search at the same time would the
postmaster die?

Thanks

Well if your CPU is idle, shouldn't someone do smthing usefull with it :-)
If N users do the sam search postmaster wouldn't die.
Go through http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?arch.html wrt the Postgres architecture.
