-My warnings about downsides related to checkpoint issues with larger
buffer pools isn't an opinion at all; that's a fact based on limitations
in how Postgres does its checkpoints. If we get something more like
Oracle's incremental checkpoint logic, this particular concern might go
away.
Does PG issue checkpoint writes in "sorted" order ?
I wonder about something, too : if your DB size is smaller than RAM, you
could in theory set shared_buffers to a size larger than your DB provided
you still have enough free RAM left for work_mem and OS writes management.
How does this interact with the logic which prevents seq-scans hogging
shared_buffers ?
