Which are the most important knobs to twist? Which ones should you never, never touch without 20 years' experience and a very peculiar requirement?
Give me something to read, please. "In one ear and out the other" is a saying for a very good reason.
There's an upcoming new version that will come with something similar to what you say: some "guide" on which parameters to tune, classified by categories, and with varying level of "expertise" (basic, medium, advanced). With specific guidance for those set of parameters.
Would that be useful to you?
This is important feedback for us. We will fix this landing page soon to include a search box, like search engines landing page, just for parameters.
There's also a significant new version coming soon, with capabilities to manage postgresql.conf configurations. Stay tuned. Hope that would become clearer.

Shame on me for not looking at the domain.
It is a conference.
