Have you checked these pages? They've been posted on this list numerous times: http://techdocs.postgresql.org http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/perf.html http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/annotated_conf_e.htmlThose are much more instructive; I'm curious - why aren't then in the administrator's section of the docs?
Because they are much more recent. Not even 6 months old. And lot of people differ on how exactly these tips applies. What goes in postgresql documentation is fact and nothing but facts. Clearly such tips do not have any place in postgresql documentation(At least in my opinion)
A pointer might get added to postgresql documentation. That's about it at the most.
