Some time ago Joe Conway suggest a tool based on a genetic algorithm 
which tries to find the best parameter settings.
As input the user could use a set of SQL statements. The algorithm will 
try to find those settings which lead to the lowest execution time based 
on the set of SQL.

What about something like that?
This way people could tune the database theirselves.
