I agree that the publisher overload is a serious issue that users
should be aware of. But I'm not sure it's a good idea to broadly
suggest lowing the GUC value as it ultimatly depends on multiple
factors. A value of 10 or more is perfectly fine depending on the
hardware and the number of tables etc. A definition of a large number
of tables also varies on systems. I guess the release note would be a
better place to mention this.
