Postgres v.7.3.4 - Performance tuning

I need to provide recommendations for optimal value for the
shared_buffers. This has to do with some optional feature
we have in our application. If turned on - a number of extra
tables involved in the operations.
I don't have an experience with PG perf. testing and I guess that
I may need to account for the size of the tables, perhaps the size
of index tables as well..?

Any hints, or pointers to related reading would be very appreciated.
Mike.

First, read the annotated config file and performance guide here:

If you think there's more to be done, subscribe to the performance list
