I suspect they're per-database, i.e. as I add databases, I don't have to
increase the FSM parameters, but the documentation isn't 100% clear on
this point.

It's per cluster, ie *not* per-database.

The parameter is gone in 8.4, BTW.

See:

  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/release-8-4.html#AEN95067

for why they've been removed, which boils down to "PostgreSQL manages the fsm automatically now and no longer requires all that RAM to do it, either".

Thanks Heikki - the fsm _really_ simplify admin and remove a bunch of common gotchas for Pg users.
