It certainly makes more sense to do this:

archive_mode = off
archive_command = '/archive/command/used/during/snapshot/backups'
I could live with diddling the command to control archiving. It doesn't log anything extra when archive_mode is on?

Depends on your logging level. I don't know that there is noticeable difference between the two in terms of performance. That said, it is still silly that we have to handle it in such a hacky way. Frankly, it should be a catalog reloption of some sort... "ALTER CATALOG (which doesn't exist) archive_mode TO off" but I digress.

archive_mode = on disables the optimization to skip WAL-logging when loading into a new table that was created in the same transaction. That's the case that Simon described in the mail that started this thread.
