win32 performance - fsync question - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi,

looking for the way how to increase performance at Windows XP box, I found
the parameters

#fsync = true                   # turns forced synchronization on or off
#wal_sync_method = fsync        # the default varies across platforms:                                # fsync,
fdatasync,open_sync, or open_datasync
 

I have no idea how it works with win32. May I try fsync = false, or it is
dangerous? Which of wal_sync_method may I try at WinXP?

Regards,
E.R.
