To get things moving forward, I made a doc patch which changes a few things, namely: * Mentions the distinction between ssd and hdd right up front. * Moves the tablespace talk to the very end, as tablespace use is getting rarer (again, thanks in part to ssds) * Mentions the capability to set per-database and per-role since we mention per-tablespace. * Removes a lot of the talk of caches and justifications for the 4.0 setting. While those are interesting, I've been tuning this parameter for many years and never really cared about the "90% cache rate". The proof is in the pudding: rpc is the canonical "try it and see" parameter. Tweak. Test. Repeat. Cheers, Greg
