Well, we'd give 25% of it to postgres, and the rest to the OS.

Are you quite sure that PostgreSQL's management of the buffers is
efficient with such a large one?

No, I'm not sure of this.
In the past, that wasn't the case
for relatively small buffers; with the replacement of single-pass
LRU, that has certainly changed, but I'd be surprised if anyone
tested a buffer as large as 32G.

So does anyone have experience above 32G ?
