How does the logging facility decide to checkpoint state?  eg, is it
adaptive?  is it a balance of state-size/time-to-write vs. transaction
log?  is it every T seconds?  can I tailor it?

Specifically, suppose I have three processes in a system.  The first
process has very little state but processes mega-traffic on that
state.  The second has mega-state, but processes medium traffic.  The
third has state that dynamically changes; sometimes large, sometimes
small.  I want to log all of them, and efficiently.

(ps, the answer belongs in the manual.)
