checkpoint _segments=16 is fine, going to 64 made no improvement.

You might find that it does *after* increasing shared_buffers. If the buffer cache is really small, the checkpoints can't have very much work to do, so their impact on performance is smaller. Once you've got a couple of hundred MB on there, the per-checkpoint overhead can be considerable.

Ahh bugger, I've just trashed my test setup.

Pardon?  How did you do that?
