You might find that it does *after* increasing shared_buffers. If
the buffer cache is really small, the checkpoints can't have very
much work to do, so their impact on performance is smaller. Once
you've got a couple of hundred MB on there, the per-checkpoint
overhead can be considerable.
Ahh bugger, I've just trashed my test setup.
Pardon? How did you do that?
