Ugh. Could it be autovacuum kicking in at different times? Do you get
any other metrics than the TPM out of it.

Hmm. That's remotely plausible, I suppose. The old FSM only kept track
of pages with more than avg. request size of free space, but the new FSM
tracks even the smallest free spots. Is there tables in that workload
that are inserted to, with very varying row widths?
FWIW, I just got the results of my first 2h DBT-2 results, and I'm
seeing no difference at all in the overall performance or behavior
during the test. Autovacuum doesn't kick in in those short tests,
though, so I schedule a pair of 4h tests, and might run even longer
tests over the weekend.
