The problem is: better for what?  In particular, I'm uncomfortable with
any changes in the direction of trying to make Postgres take over the
entire machine by default.  I'd want some fairly explicit permission
from the user for that ...

Yes, those are decisions we are going to have to make, eventually. But recall the three step process:

1. What values need changing?

shared_buffers
work_mem
maintenance_work_mem
checkpoint_segments
wal_sync_method
effective_cache_size

I haven't seen a proposal for item 1 yet, so the rest is idle discussion at this time.

I think those cover the biggest low hanging fruit, async_commit is arguable.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
