The lack of any documentation for the GUC (neither in config.sgml or postgresql.conf.sample) suggests very very strongly that it was not meant to be shipped. If we don't remove it I will certainly insist that it be documented adequately.
Personally I think a hardwired #define should be plenty. What's the argument that users will need to tune this at runtime?
I tend to go in this direction too. It is unclear how it is really able to improve scalability, or at least some documentation should be here to help users to set it. An additional thought as well: set it with a configure switch at compilation instead of a GUC. -- Michael
