I think disk speed should probably be the main factor.
After the first run 30k/5 also seemed the best here, but running the test
again shows, that the results are only reproducible after a new initdb.
Anybody else see reproducible results without previous initdb ?
One thing I noticed is, that WAL_FILES needs to be at least 4, because
one run fills up to 3 logfiles, and we don't want to measure WAL formating.
