This inter-plays with work_mem due to concurrent processing effects. max_prepared_transactions = 350 Really? The default is zero and few people needs these... I'm not sure if additional resources are consumed by this being enabled and so large but the recommendation is to disable (leave at 0) this if you do not use PREPARE TRANSACTION.
