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