Thank you - that affirms what'd been my own growing supposition, and the

Really? ...Well, I mean, I'd just been going with what I'd seen asserted as
the solid baseline position: WAL should be on its own separate drive,
devoid of any interference and/or interruption other than just writing WAL.
To see that challenged is surprising; are you saying my interpretation on
that point would be incorrect, and that assumption would be wrong?
putting everything on a single large raid10 ensures the IO is evenly
distributed across all spindles, given enough workload to keep that many
concurrent IOs active.
