Not really --- the postmaster will refuse to start if the BLCKSZ shown in pg_control doesn't match what is compiled in. I concur though that there may be no significant performance gain. For some workloads there may well be a performance loss from increasing BLCKSZ. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
