The first thing I'd like to see is "user profiles" - being able to set
things like work_mem, synchronous_commit, etc. on per-user basis
separately.

True. Greg Smith actually mentioned this as one of the frequently asked
features in his post about two weeks ago
(http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/en/2011/11/global-trends-in-deploying-pos.html).
I've started to build my own tool and got it somehow working for my needs,
and there are other tools available, but none of them is really a complete
solution. Would be nice to form a dev group that would work on this.

I wonder if the prioritisation could be done using nice - each backend is
a separate process, so why not to do 'nice(10)' for low priority processes
or something like that.
