It occurred to me that it's easy to measure the worst case, ie always
one message per notify interrupt:
$ cat bnch.txt
LISTEN foo\; NOTIFY foo;
$ pgbench -n -c 1 -T 10 -f bnch.txt
On this case it seems that the patch is circa 2% slower than HEAD,
though that's only barely above the noise level in my measurements.
I think that's probably acceptable.
