How to tune them?

Now I have:

checkpoint_segments = 5         # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each
checkpoint_timeout = 900        # range 30-3600, in seconds
checkpoint_warning = 30         # in seconds, 0 is off

No checkpoint warnings in pgsql logs.

looks like checkpoint ?
Check checkpoint settings in postgresql.conf.
