+This package provides the following PostgreSQL modules:
+ - auto_explain
+ - pg_buffercache
+ - pg_stat_statements
+ - pgstattuple
+
+The "auto_explain" module provides a means for logging execution
+plans of slow statements automatically, without having to run
+EXPLAIN(7) by hand. This is especially helpful for tracking down
+un-optimized queries in large applications.
+
+The "pg_buffercache" module provides a means for examining what's
+happening in the shared buffer cache in real time.
+
+The "pg_stat_statements" module provides a means for tracking
+execution statistics of all SQL statements executed by a server.
+
+The "pgstattuple" module provides various functions to obtain
+tuple-level statistics.
