It contains the transaction log files.
The files are precreated with a size of 16MB and filled with log entries.
There will normally be several of those files around.
Since your main objective is to keep size small, you can change
the default of 16MB by setting XLOG_SEG_SIZE in src/include/pg_config_manual.h
to a smaller value.
