Ok, here are a series of three tests varying the bgwriter_delay at 1,
50, and 100:
http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/pgsql/bgwriter_delay/

I also reduced checkpoint_timeout to 600, where it was prevously at
1800 with the results I posted previously. The throughput changes
weren't significant and the oprofile data is more of less the same.
I'll try varying the bgwriter_maxpages next (that's the number of
blocks per cycle, right?)
