According to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/kernel-resources.html
The maximum shared memory usage of a connection in bytes is
1800 + 270 * max_locks_per_transaction
max_locks_per_transaction default is 64
19080 Bytes
or .018 mb's per connection
or
1.819 mb at 100 default connections
With a Gig of Phsical Ram setting Shared Buffers to use 25% - 256 mb
dedicated to Postgres
default is using roughly 0.75% for connections
You can extrapolate this out taking into consideration all your specific
variables, total physical RAM, postgresql.conf settings etc but I wouldn;t
run off to use pgpool unless your in an extremly connection heavy
environment as it does add an additional layer within the client server
connection and is another component to config and admin.
