I don't know. On the one hand I don't feel very strongly about this change, and I have no intention to block it (because in most cases I do actually increase the value anyway). I wonder if those with small systems will be happy about it, though. But on the other hand it feels a bit weird that we increase this one value and leave all the other (also very conservative) defaults alone. regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
