this afternoon my laptop started getting real slow. postgres was taking up 80% of my cpu, so i looked in pgadmin and saw it was still running a query that i had initiated in labkey about 4 hours earlier. that morning i was working on a labkey query called demographicsVL. i one permutation of this query took forever to load in a browser, so i closed the browser tab and didnt think about it again. apparently closing the browser tab didnt kill it.

prior to opening pg admin, i completely stopped tomcat, which is why i was especially surprised to see it still running.
