As much as the devs try, there is an unavoidable base line of complexity. This is also true with performance tuning pretty much anything in Linux. The default values try to aim for the best level of trade off, but work loads and hardware vary so much that it's impossible to have a default "best config". To tune, you need to understand your hardware, understand your workload and understand what you get and lose when you adjust various tunables. Please grab a $drink, settle in and take some time to read. As you see here, the community will do its best to help, but you will need to do the heavy lifting because you understand your environment. > How about some recommendations with real numbers? > > BTW, the man page for version 8.9.4 mentions that the default for > c-plan-ahead is 0.
