This still makes catching up in standby mode slower, as you get many 
more restartpoints. The reason for ignoring checkpoint_segments during 
recovery was to avoid that. Maybe it's still better than what we have 
currently, I'm not sure, but at least it needs to be discussed. Would be 
good to do some performance testing of recovery with various 
checkpoint_segments and _timeout settings, with and without this patch.
