I just realized that the provided configuration is really not optimal for 
Windows users because of the known limitations that prevent larger 
shared_buffers settings from being effective on that platform.  I know 
there are some notes on that subject in the archives that I'll look 
though, but I'd appreciate a suggestion for what a good upper-limit for 
that setting is on Windows.  I also wonder whether any of the other 
parameters have similar restrictions on their useful range.
