I think the main issue is that we can't seem to get PostgreSQL
compiled for 64 bit on OS X on an Xserve G5. Has anyone done that?
We have 8 GB of RAM on that server, but we can't seem to utilize it
all. At least not for the shared_buffers setting.
Thanks,

It certainly is unfortunate if Guido's right and this is an upper

Got any data about that you can share? People have been wondering
about
cases where drastically increasing shared_buffers makes a difference.
