In response to shared_buffers on Big RAM systems  (Ron <ronljohnsonjr@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-general
I tested. The shared buffers works better, then an OS level filesystem cache. The more shared_buffers (but less then
databasesize), the better. With huge_pages is more better. But you must reserve enough free memory for OS and PostgeSQL
itself.
