actually there are a few log (around 12 per day) entries concerning
checkpoints:
LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (10 seconds apart)
HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter
"checkpoint_segments".
But wouldn't that only affect write performance? The main problems I'm
concerned about affect SELECT queries.
