ISTM that for performance analysis there's probably a better alternative
than just dumping query statements to a logfile. The information we
really want is stuff like:
WAL sync's per second
Read-only queries per second
Queries that modify data per second
Transactions per second
Blacks written per second (maybe broken down by WAL, heap and index)
etc...
Doesn't really have anything to do with logging query strings passed
into the parser.
I know dtrace could be used to provide this kind of info, but it's only
on Solaris (and eventually FreeBSD). But it should be possible to
provide our own version of that for platforms that don't have something
like dtrace.
Or perhaps there's some entirely different statistics collection method
we could come up with...
