+1. Or just wal_debug for greppability. >> in the normal case.

PerformWalRecovery() with its log for RM_XACT_ID is something that stresses me a bit though because this is in the main redo loop which is never free. The same can be said about GenericXLogFinish() because the extra computation happens while holding a buffer and marking it dirty. The ones in xlog.c are free of charge as they are called outside any critical portions. This makes me wonder how much we need to care about trace_recovery_messages, actually, and I've never used it. -- Michael
