"All the stakeholders" decide the threshold. For example, if *they*
complain about queries taking more than 2 seconds, you obviously shouldn't
set log_min_duratoin_statement to 5 seconds.
If they don't know, are too clueless to know, or it's a mixed OLTP &
reporting database, pick a reasonable value and go from there.
You can always change it later...
