commit_delay was designed to provide better performance in multi-user
workloads.  If you are going to use it with only a single backend, you
certainly should set it to zero.  If you will have multiple backends
committing at the same time, we are not sure if 5 or 0 is the right
value.  If multi-user benchmark shows 0 is faster, we may change the
default.
