    4747== Tuning ==
    4848Adjust postgresql.conf for performance relative to resources available
     49
     50For small/medium sized servers (the majority of Sahana Eden installs) then we provide 2 scripts to configure appropriately depending on the amount of RAM available:
     51* https://github.com/sahana/eden_deploy/blob/master/manual/install-eden-cherokee-postgis.sh#L745
     52{{{
     53pg512
     54pg1024
     55}}}
     56
     57For larger servers, then more manual tuning is useful to be able to fully utilise the hardware.
     58
     59Some relevant URLs:
     60 * http://pgtune.leopard.in.ua (But the RAM we have available is normally shared by UWSGI, so we should be a little more conservative)
