However you implement it, anyone who can answer all of those questions
is probably capable of reading and understanding the performance section
in the manual.
It's probably more practical to have a seperate script that looks at the
running system (ram, disks, pg config, db size, indices, stats, etc.)
and makes suggestions--if someone wants to write such a thing.
