I made sure that all changes in postgresql.conf took effect. I restarted
the postmaster and i could not spot
any difference.
The values of  bgwriter_all_percent and bgwriter_all_maxpages are all
default (and i set checkpoints segments value to 250). Could there be
some kind of connection between these parameters and the bgwriter_lru_*
parameters?

by the way, was i correct describing the transaction handling mechanism ?

thanks for your help
