Re: managing kernel

OK,
I have RTFM:-)
SHMALL Total amount of shared memory available (bytes
or pages) if bytes, same as SHMMAX; if pages,
ceil(SHMMAX/PAGE_SIZE)

These values should be the same. I've changed that
now.

Still my second question is valid though. Are there
any other values I should consider changing in order
to boost performance.
I'm using postgresql 7.4.
