We've had to manually code something that runs EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * from a bunch of tables to warm our caches after
arestart, but there's numerous flaws to that approach obviously.
Unfortunately, what we really need to warm isn't the PG buffers, it's the FS cache, which I suspect this won't help.
ButI still see where just pg_buffers would be useful for a lot of folks, so +1.
