HOLD THE BOAT THERE BATMAN!

I would *STRONGLY* advise not running with fsync=false in production as
PG _CANNOT_ guaruntee data consistancy in the event of a hardware
failure.  It would sure suck to have a power failure screw up your nice
db for the users!

This also seems high. come to think about it- shared_buffers is also
high.

I could also read to data loss, but you'll get a speed increase on
inserts.

One of the best things you can do to increase insert speed is a nice,
battery backed raid card with a pile of disks hanging off of it.
