Redhat puts ext3 on by default. Consider switching to a non-journaling FS
(ext2?) with the partition that holds your data and WAL.

Consider having a seperate partition for the WAL as well.

These are things that are more difficult to change later on. Everything else
is tweaking.

Is it absolutely necessary to store 8MB files in the database? I find it
cumbersome. Storing them on a file server has been a better alternative for
me.
