Yes and no. If it's run often enough then the number of tracked pages shouldn't need to be raised, but then again... ...max_fsm_pages should be raised anyway. I'm about to reclaim a Pentium 166 w/ 64MB of RAM from a friend I lent it to _many_ years ago, and I suspect PG would run happily on it as configured by default. Set it to at least 50,000 I say. What do you have to lose, I mean if they're not free then they're not tracked in the FSM right? Of course if anyone knows a reason _not_ to raise it then I'm all ears!
