Oh, and to at least give a somewhat more normal postgresql.conf I'd 
recommend you at least make the following two changes before doing the 
above:

shared_buffers=256MB
checkpoint_segments=32

Those are the two parameters the pgbench test is most sensitive to, so 
setting to higher values will give more realistic results.
