Nick,
> Josh have you managed to put together the rest of the calculations yet?
Given that I spent most of November working on the PR for the 7.4 release,
I've just started to think about it. As you can see, I'm thinking about
dovetailing pg_avd and pg_autoconf.
The difficult thing is to figure out settings for "bad" hardware setups. Like
a 5GB database on a PIII500 + 256mb running 4 other pieces of major software
(I've acctually seen this). Or a 500/minute OLTP database on a machine
with 1 fixed disk.
All the variables are going into a hash array, right?
