11 postgres.exe processes?

[cohplacebo]

Is this normal to have 11 postgres.exe processes? It seems like a bit much, if not is there a way I can knock it down to one? Even after I close PT 3 there are still 6 postgres.exe processes running in the background clogging up resources.

This is standard. By default, PostgreSQL uses 6 different processes and a new process is created for each connection. This is one of the reasons that PostgreSQL is able to achieve better performance over a standalone database such as Access or SQLite.

There is no way to eliminate this. Each postgres.exe process while idle only uses approximately 3MB of memory which is minimal and I would hope would not consume all of your free system resources. I would not worry about it...

I see, that's fine since it is standard. It just seemed a bit suspicious, thanks for clearing it up.
