Developer machine, XP professional, 1 Gig memory. other applications
are running, ~2-4 concurrent acceses to PostgreSQL. Value was in the
200MB range, system trashed the harddrive badly. Setting down to 8MB,
and DB acesses AND the rest of the system run much smoother. Did not
benchmark queries; difference between settings was too obvious (from
many seconds down to <2 seconds)
A server (2Gig, win2003, 8.4) is set to 32MB and runs as smoothly as with 128.
