No.

The only thing I noticed to increase the performance so far is extend
the deadlock_timeout paramterter.

BTW, wal_sync_method parameter seems also impact the performance. I'm
not sure what kind of platform you are using, but from my experience
open_sync is the best for Unix, while fdatasync is good for Solaris.
