+ Sets the directory to store temporary statistics data in. This can be a
+ path relative to the data directory or an absolute path. The default is
+ <filename>pg_stat_tmp</filename>. Pointing this at a RAM based filesystem
+ will decrease physical I/O requirements and can lead to increased
+ performance. This parameter can only be set at server start.
