Currently tmgr.atom_max_size defaults to 1/4 of RAM. Historically RAM size increased faster than disk write speeds so machines today usually ship with 4-16GB of RAM that means that we can get to situation where we have to flush 1-4GB of data and while doing so system would be unresponsive for minutes for apps that wait on sync. If we presume an optimistic scenario of 100MB/s write speed and 10sec wait time for 16GB RAM we come to the 1/16 ratio. Your thoughts?
