I agree, but actually, what is the sense of checkpoint_warning?  I think
it was useful back when we didn't have log_checkpoints, but now that we
have detailed checkpoint logging I think it's pretty much useless noise.


Not entirely. The WARNING only triggers when you get below the 30s (or
whatever value is set in the config) and explicitly warns you about
doing checkpoints too often. log_checkpoints=on logs all checkpoints and
you have to do further analysis on the data (and it's just LOG).

Agree, though I also find it pretty useless to set it significantly less than checkpoint_timeout in almost all cases. If you want ~5 minutes between checkpoints checkpoint_timeout=30 seconds is way too low to be useful. We should really change the default.
