Re: Minimizing Recovery Time (wal replication)

If you're using "full page write = off", prefetching data page from
WAL speeds up the recovery too. I've proposed this patch but was
carried over to 8.5. I'm planning to release this as an external
tool, which will not work well with Hot Standby but will work in
usual recovery.

I'm not sure how soon I can do it but hope it works.
