Missed that, sorry.

I'd first try to set the following on a write-busy 8.3 server to smooth
checkpoint spikes:
    checkpoint_segments = 16
    checkpoint_timeout = 20min
    checkpoint_completion_target = 0.8

I'd also set
    log_checkpoints=on
to get an idea how it behaves.

But I have no experience on anything with more than 1GB of RAM...
