1236+
Time delay between writing a commit record to the WAL buffer and
1237+
flushing the buffer out to disk, in microseconds. A nonzero delay
1238+
allows multiple transactions to be committed with only one fsync,
1239+
if system load is high enough that additional transactions become
1240+
ready to commit within the given interval. But the delay is just
1241+
wasted time if no other transactions become ready to commit.
1242+
Therefore, the delay is only performed if at least COMMIT_SIBLINGS
1243+
other transactions are active at the instant that a backend has
1244+
written its commit record.

Minimum number of concurrent open transactions to require before

performing the COMMIT_DELAY delay. A larger value makes it more
1255+
probable that at least one other transaction will become ready to
1256+
commit during the delay interval.
