I didn't follow that on -hackers, but :
* checkpoint take place in the pg_start_backup process (before it
releases the hand, so before you can start snapshoting)
* we used to issue a checkpoint *before* pg_start_backup to reduce
pg_start_backup duration in case you have wal_archiving turn off and
full_page_write is off, it reduces a bit the IO contention. (or even
if not I hate seing this pg_start_backup taking seconds/minutes to
finish)
How the checkpoint before will reduce recovery time ?
