By default, <productname>PostgreSQL</> is configured to run on minimal
1167+
hardware. This allows it to start up with almost any hardware
1168+
configuration. However, the default configuration is not designed for
1169+
optimum performance. To achieve optimum performance, several server
1170+
variables must be adjusted, the two most common being
1171+
<varname>shared_buffers</varname> and <varname> sort_mem</varname>
1172+
mentioned in <xref linkend="runtime-config-resource-memory">. Other
1173+
paramters in <xref linkend="runtime-config-resource"> also affect
1174+
performance.
