I don't believe that premise. Relocating xlog is an essential step
for high-performance databases ... using tablespaces isn't.

I think the xlog case needs to be mentioned, and I think there needs to
be specific reference to a multi-volume situation. "Using tablespaces"
doesn't necessarily mean the database is spread across multiple disks.

In short, I thought the original wording was better.
