+1. I'm inclined to set slots a bit higher than senders. They're pretty cheap...
So something like 10/20?

But they're relatively cheap to enable, so why set them low?
That's my reasoning as well. I think you will be hard pressed to even measure the overhead between 3 and 10. The big difference will be in leaving 0 and in particular setting wal_level.
