Re: Improving postgresql.conf

This seems like a nice idea -

It might even be worth targeting a couple pf specific "ranges" - e.g : 
machines with 1G RAM and 4G RAM  ( "medium" are "large" come to mind, I 
know it's a bit like that "other" database product we know of.... but 
that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad!)
