It would be simple to measure the time it takes to replay this single
DROP DATABASE record by putting two gettimeofday() calls or such things
and then take the time difference. There are many methods that you
could use here, and I suppose that with a shared buffer setting of a
couple of GBs of shared buffers you would see a measurable difference
with a dozen of tablespaces or so. You could also take a base backup
after creating all the tablespaces, connect the standby and then drop
the database on the primary to see the actual time it takes. Your patch
looks logically correct to me because DropDatabaseBuffers is a
*bottleneck* with large shared_buffers, and it would be nice to see
numbers.
