Add:

max_fsm_relations (perhaps it is ok with current default)
max_fsm_pages

I don't think you really want to diddle with fsync in the name of
speed at the cost of safety.

and possibly:

checkpoint_segments (if you do a lot of writes to the DB for extended
                    durations of time)  With 7.4 it warns you in the
                    logs if you should increase this.
