This:
+ total time between checkpoints. The default is 0.9, which spreads the
+ checkpoint across the entire checkpoint timeout period of time,
is confusing because 0.9 is obviously not 1.0; people will wonder
whether the scale is something strange or the text is just wrong.
They will also wonder why not use 1.0 instead. So perhaps more like
... The default is 0.9, which spreads the checkpoint across almost
all the available interval, providing fairly consistent I/O load
while also leaving some slop for checkpoint completion overhead.
The other chunk of text seems accurate, but there's no reason to let
this one be misleading.
