Guys,
A configuration wizard would be nice, but it would be a good start to
add a section to the manual on how to do the basic tuning. AFAICS we
don't have one. Clear instructions on how to set the few most important
settings like shared_buffers and checkpoint_timeout/segments would
probably be enough, with a link to the main configuration section that
explains the rest of the settings.
If people don't read the manual, we can add a link to it from
postgresql.conf.sample, add a screen to the Windows installer suggesting
to read it, or even open postgresql.conf in Notepad.
