Not everybody can afford a system with lots of raid arrays or dedicated logging 
boxes. Many people log to the same disk. I do it in some projects. 

So log_sample gives you quite as much log analysing as full logging but 
without the I/O overhead. 

Maybe most of the postgresql guys have lots of hardware with RAID 10 SCSI 
Disks but reality sometimes differ. we run most of our boxes on IDE RAID 1 
without additional disks for logging. In this scenario you just can't log 
everything. log_min_duration gives you only a view to long running queries but 
that is just on half of the whole picture.

kind regards
