well, simon's point that hint bits complicate checksum may nor may not be the case, but no hint bits = less i/o = less checksumming (unless you checksum around the hint bits). This lowers the expense of doing it, which is nice. Maybe that doesn't matter in the end, we'll see. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
