Because I see having checksums as, frankly, something we always should
have had (as most other databases do, for good reason...) and because
they will hopefully prevent data loss. I'm willing to give us a fair
bit to minimize the risk of losing data.

I'd be surprised if the performance impact has really changed all that
much since the code went in. Perhaps that's overly optimistic of me.

Do you run with all defaults in those environments?
Thanks!
