Indeed. Would it make sense to have something easier to configure that recompiling postgresql and managing a custom executable, say a block size that could be configured from initdb and/or postmaster.conf, or maybe per-object settings specified at creation time? Note that the block size may also affect the cache behavior, for instance for pure random accesses, more "recently accessed" tuples can be kept in memory if the pages are smaller. So there are other reasons to play with the blocksize than I/O access times, and an option to do that more easily would help. -- Fabien.
