Erik,

Wow, thanks for the post.

We've just started testing the option of sizing shared_buffers bigger than
the database, and using forcedirectio in benchmarks at Sun. So far, our
experience has been *equal* performance in that configuration, so it's
*very* interesting to see you're getting a gain.
