This annoys me so much about PostgreSQL. Why not have useful defaults?!

  The defaults are useful in that they reflect a configuration that is appropriate to get the system running on a large variety of hardware. It's not really the responsibility of the Pg developers to guess at the "best" settings for any specific environment, because environments and configurations vary greatly.

    I agree to a point, but it would be nice if there were some provided default configs for various classes of machines. Especially defaults for the most popular EC2 instance types.
