    Improve the documentation about commit_delay. · 70ec2f8f
    Tom Lane 提交于
    Clarify the docs explaining what commit_delay does, and add a
    recommendation about a useful value for it, namely half of the single-page
    fsync time reported by pg_test_fsync.  This is informed by testing of
    the new-in-9.3 implementation of commit_delay; in prior versions it
    was far harder to arrive at a useful setting.
    
    In passing, do some wordsmithing and markup-fixing in the same general
    area.
    
    Also, change pg_test_fsync's default time-per-test from 2 seconds to 5.
    The old value was about the minimum at which the results could be taken
    seriously at all, and so seems a tad optimistic as a default.
