Personally i found only performance improvement when increasing
shared_buffers. (but then again i speak for me and my queries).
The 100,000 value was certainly not a typo (provided he doesnt run
X11,KDE, mozilla, etc... on his server) but maybe too high.
Some people say 25% of the total Mem is a good rule of thumb, but
testing for his specific query must be made.
