Comment (by kneufeld):

 Ah interesting.  K, so these tips are getting quite old ... at the time of
 writing, was geared for 8.0 - 8.1 databases.

 I think it would be better to rework the opening paragraphs ... just
 explain why someone would want to tune their databases.  I'm definitely
 not after any publicity - remove references to me and the now obsolete
 doc.  Perhaps a line "for further reading, see:" followed by a list of
 reference material like the PostgreSQL docs, Greg's notes, and any other
 current references folks find useful.

 So, with that, the "this setting is now obsolete" type of comments could
 be replaced with just the current recommended settings as you have started
 to do, Regina.  ie. checkpoint_segment_size and constraint_exclusion.

 I can tackle this at some point.
