Hm. I'm a bit confused. You show one result for 9.5 with bad and one
with good performance. I suspect the second one is supposed to be a 9.6?
Am I understanding correctly that the performance near entirely
recovered with 9.6? If so, I suspect we might be dealing with a memory
alignment issue. Do the 9.5 results change if you increase
max_connections by one or two (without changing anything else)?
What's the actual hardware?
