So it never makes sense to enable overcommitted memory when
Postgres, or any server, is running.
There are some run-time environments which allocate huge chunks of
memory on startup, without marking them as not yet in use. SBCL is in
this category, and also the Hotspot VM (at least some extent).
I stand by my assertion: It never makes sense. Do these applications allocate
a terrabyte of memory? I doubt it. Buy a terrabyte swap disk and disable
overcommitted memory.
