here's some of my postgresql.conf. Feel free to blast me if I did
something idiotic here.

shared_buffers = 50000
effective_cache_size = 1348000
random_page_cost = 3
work_mem = 512000
max_fsm_pages = 80000
log_min_duration_statement = 60000
fsync = true ( not sure if I'm daring enough to run without this )
wal_buffers = 1000
checkpoint_segments = 64
checkpoint_timeout = 3000

#---- FOR PG_AUTOVACUUM --#
stats_command_string = true
stats_row_level = true
