I think if we can get data for pgbench read-write workload when data
doesn't fit in shared buffers but fit in RAM, that can give us some
indication. We can try by varying the ratio of shared buffers w.r.t
data. This should exercise the checksum code both when buffers are
evicted and at next read. I think it also makes sense to check the
WAL data size for each of those runs.
