There haven't been any changes made in this area since 8.3, that's why
there's been no update.  8.4 and 9.0 have exactly the same checkpoint
behavior and background writer behavior as 8.3 from the perspective of
regular use.  The changes made only impact how things happen on a
replication standby, not the master server.
