I do think that performance implications are very relevant. And I haven't seen any serious benchmark that would incorporate all current differences between using and not using checksums. The change of wal_level was supported by benchmark, I think it's reasonable to ask for this to be as well. -- Petr Jelinek http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
