Ok thats really bad news :/
After reading the discussion about calling unlogged tables "in memory"
or "cached" I actually had high hopes pgql would take advantage of the
fact that data of unlogged tables are not preserved at recovery.
However, it seems pgsql fsyncs frequently to guarantee durability of
table data which will be rejected anyway at recovery from an unclean
shutdown.
I'll have a look at the source and probably prepare a patch.
