This is surely a good start. We could optimize this even more by saying, disk space is cheap, so let's just use a much higher default setting for checkpoint_segments. (If PostgreSQL is installed but not actually used, not all the space is actually going to be used anyway.) Then, increase max_connections a bit; that should be OK for most users. Then you are left with the memory settings, and those need kernel tuning in most cases, so any automation tool loses.
