We've been adjusting the WAL log file count on our database. The only
effects we've seen so far in increasing the count from 8 (default) to 32
(current) are:

1) No more WAL messages in the log 8-/

and 2) very long COMMIT times for some long transactions: I'm talking
about upwards of 10-20 MINUTES to commit after doing hundreds of inserts,
updates and deletes in one transaction. The table involved has some 20K
rows, and is read and updated a few rows at a time by many processes, but
only one (the one doing large numbers of rows) has the lengthy COMMIT
times.

Did this come about because of the increase in WAL count?
