http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/chkp-bgw-83.htm is the
main free reference that tries to step outside of the documentation into
real-world tuning advice. There are a few of my talks at
http://projects.2ndquadrant.it/talks that mention material around this
area too; "Inside the PostgreSQL Buffer Cache" and "The Write Stuff"
both overlap with checkpoint issues quite a bit. Beyond that, my book
is the main extended commentary discussing this area available.
