Speaking of which, maybe it'd be a good idea to parametrize the subtrans
size according to the same (or a similar) formula too. (It might be
good to reduce multixact memory consumption too; I'd think that 4+4
pages should be more than sufficient for low memory systems, so making
those be half the clog values should be good)
So you get both things: reduce memory usage for systems on the low end,
which has been slowly increasing lately as we've added more uses of SLRU,
and more buffers for large systems.
