I am aware of the risk of dataloss in case of power failure, etc.

However fsync=on is simply too slow for my purpose, and it concerns data 
that can be regenerated from its source.

The website this setup is for has been running various previous versions 
of PostgreSQL with fsync=off since 2005.
So I still expect it to work.


Yours sincerely,
