Memory tuning for linux (Suffering CRS...)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Folks,

I remember seeing somewhere a document that outlined how to tune memory
for optimal operation of a postgres server on Linux. I can't seem to
find that document again.

I did fine one for the 7.x family but not 8.x and I'm currently running
8.x and noticing some heavy system load doing so.

Any hints/tips appreciated on either where to look or how to tune this
thing.

Thanks,
