More log I/O, which is not free ... and that remark about compressibility is bogus for anyone who doesn't pipe their postmaster stderr into gzip. I'm already afraid that adding the timestamps will get us some pushback about log volume.
I don't pipe them into gzip, but every few months I go and pxz any of them more than few months old.
Do you think the pushback will come from people who just accept the defaults?
