Yes, because that's a virtual server with about 150 users in the same
machine. Anyway the greatest problem is that they seem to need to
recompile the OS kernel or some other maintenance work that would affect
every user hosted on the same machine, so they only do that if I was on a
dedicated server.
Anyway, I don't see why I can't configure those requirements during
PostgreSQL build, especially when in past versions it worked with less
shared memory. I wonder if isn't there a way to hack PostgreSQL source to
make it work with less shared memory as in past versions.
