perfocmance.If mmap is indeed the cuplrit, I've just tested 9.2.8 vs 9.3.4, I nevere isolated the mmap patch, although
Ibelieve Francois did just that with similar results.
If there are indeed such large regressions on FreeBSD we need to treat
them as postgres regressions. It's nicer not to add config options for
things that don't need it, but apparently that's not the case here.
Imo this means we need to add GUC to control wether anon mmap() or sysv
shmem is to be used. In 9.3.
