Thank you for explaining that. I also noticed that the WAL file switch
happens after archive_timeout seconds irrespective of whether
archive_mode is turned ON or not. This happens because we don't check
if XLogArchivingActive() in CheckArchiveTimeout() function. It looks
wrong to me. But if it's that way for a good reason, shouldn't we at
least document this behaviour ?

Thanks,
Pavan
